CVE-2016-2057
lib/xymond_ipc.c in Xymon 4.1.x, 4.2.x, and 4.3.x before 4.3.25 use weak permissions (666) for an unspecified IPC message queue, which allows local users to inject arbitrary messages by writing to that queue.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.47%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
