Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.68%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

The sqlite3VXPrintf function in printf.c in SQLite before 3.8.9 does not properly handle precision and width values during floating-point conversions, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and stack-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via large integers in a crafted printf function call in a SELECT statement.
