CVE-2005-1692
Format string vulnerability in gxine 0.4.1 through 0.4.4, and other versions down to 0.3, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a ram file with a URL whose hostname contains format string specifiers.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.26%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
