CVE-2016-0226
The client implementation in IBM Informix Dynamic Server 11.70.xCn on Windows does not properly restrict access to the (1) nsrd, (2) nsrexecd, and (3) portmap executable files, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse file.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.38%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
