A format string vulnerability was found in CmdKeywords function when processing \keywords command in tex file.

The variable `keywords' in the function CmdKeywords may hold a malicious input string, which can be used as a format argument of vsnprintf. Vulnerable code: 1789 char *keywords = getBraceParam(); ... 1798 fprintRTF(keywords); ... 858 void fprintRTF(char *format, ...){ ... 873 vsnprintf(buffer, 1024, format, apf); ...
