    The code that generates email reports contains a format string
    vulnerability in pipedmailmessage.cpp.
  
Impact :

    With a carefully crafted filename on a local filesystem an attacker
    could cause execution of arbitrary code with permissions of the user
    running tripwire, which could be the root user.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
