   Log Message:
   Security fix for SA17028:
   "A vulnerability in Weex can be exploited by malicious users to cause a DoS
   (Denial of Service) or to compromise a vulnerable system.
   The vulnerability is caused due to a format string error in the "log_flush()"
   function when flushing an error log entry that contains format string
   specifiers to disk. This may be exploited to execute arbitrary code on a
   user's system via a directory name containing format string specifiers.
   Successful exploitation requires that the attacker is able to create
   directories within the user's Weex home directory."
