Yes it can.
The precision part of the format determines the max number
of characters to copy from the string.
The 4 byte signature array might not null terminated
so you must use the .4 in the format otherwise vsnprintf
might look over the buffer for the terminating '\0'.

rather than blaming the code for buggy output ;-)
Like it says, the table seems corrupt, has invalid signature
and checksum.
