CVE-2016-1951
Multiple integer overflows in io/prprf.c in Mozilla Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) before 4.12 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long string to a PR_*printf function.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.72%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
