Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.63%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

Buffer overflow in XBoard 4.2.7 and earlier might allow local users to execute arbitrary code via a long -icshost command line argument. NOTE: since the program is not setuid and not normally called from remote programs, there may not be a typical attack vector for the issue that crosses privilege boundaries. Therefore this may not be a vulnerability.
