CVE-2004-0451
Multiple format string vulnerabilities in the (1) logquit, (2) logerr, or (3) loginfo functions in Software Upgrade Protocol (SUP) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in messages that are logged by syslog.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.39%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
