CVE-2008-3188
libxcrypt in SUSE openSUSE 11.0 uses the DES algorithm when the configuration specifies the MD5 algorithm, which makes it easier for attackers to conduct brute-force attacks against hashed passwords.

Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.50%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
