It was found that usage of snprintf function in feature/locks translator of glusterfs server 3.8.4, as shipped with Red Hat Gluster Storage, was vulnerable to a format string attack.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.66%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
