An attacker can bypass the sandboxing of Nasal scripts and arbitrarily write to any file path that the user has permission to modify at the operating-system level.
Multiple format string flaws were reported: [1] http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msgid=28957051
in the way Flight Gear, the flight simulator, and SimGear, a simulation library components performed retrieval of various data chunk values from XML aircraft (FlightGear) or scene graph (SimGear) model data files. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted XML model file, which once opened by a local, unsuspecting user in FlightGear / in an application linked against SimGear, would lead to that particular executable crash.

Multiple buffer overflows in FlightGear 2.6 and earlier and SimGear 2.6 and earlier allow user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a (1) long string in a rotor tag of an aircraft xml model to the Rotor::getValueforFGSet function in src/FDM/YASim/Rotor.cpp or (2) a crafted UDP packet to the SGSocketUDP::read function in simgear/simgear/simgear/io/sgsocketudp.cxx.
