CVE-2007-4644
Format string vulnerability in the Cl_GetPackets function in cl_main.c in the client in Doomsday (aka deng) 1.9.0-beta5.1 and earlier allows remote Doomsday servers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in a PSV_CONSOLE_TEXT message.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.60%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
