CVE-2004-1471
Format string vulnerability in wrapper.c in CVS 1.12.x through 1.12.8, and 1.11.x through 1.11.16 allows remote attackers with CVSROOT commit access to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via format string…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (7.72%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
