CVE-2015-0198
IBM General Parallel File System (GPFS) 3.4 before 3.4.0.32, 3.5 before 3.5.0.24, and 4.1 before 4.1.0.7 in certain cipherList configurations allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary programs as root via unspecified vectors.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.16%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
