CVE-2014-8901
IBM DB2 9.5 through FP10, 9.7 through FP10, 9.8 through FP5, 10.1 through FP4, and 10.5 before FP5 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted XML query.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.16%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
