CVE-2002-0175
libsafe 2.0-11 and earlier allows attackers to bypass protection against format string vulnerabilities via format strings that use the "'" and "I" characters, which are implemented in libc but not libsafe.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.47%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
