CVE-2008-5982
Format string vulnerability in BMC PATROL Agent before 3.7.30 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers in an invalid version number to TCP port 3181, which are not properly handled when writing a log message.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (7.82%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
