CVE-2007-5652
IBM DB2 UDB 9.1 before Fixpak 4 does not properly manage storage of a list containing authentication information, which might allow attackers to cause a denial of service (instance crash) or trigger memory corruption.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.79%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
