CVE-2012-0712
The XML feature in IBM DB2 9.5 before FP9, 9.7 through FP5, and 9.8 through FP4 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) by calling the XMLPARSE function with a crafted string expression.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.04%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
