Format string vulnerability in the nm_info_handler function in Network Manager may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in a Wireless Access Point identifier, which is not properly handled in a syslog call.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.51%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
