CVE-2016-4819
The printfDx function in Takumi Yamada DX Library for Borland C++ 3.13f through 3.16b, DX Library for Gnu C++ 3.13f through 3.16b, and DX Library for Visual C++ 3.13f through 3.16b allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted string.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.82%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
