(Weex: Format string vulnerability)

    Ulf Harnhammar discovered a format string bug in Weex that can be
    triggered when it is first run (or when its cache files are rebuilt,
    using the -r option).
  
Impact :

    An attacker could setup a malicious FTP server which, when
    accessed using Weex, could trigger the format string bug and end up
    executing arbitrary code with the rights of the user running Weex.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
