CVE-2016-9868
A low-privileged local attacker may cause a denial-of-service by generating a kernel panic in the SCINI driver using IOCTL calls which may render the ScaleIO Data Client (SDC) server unavailable until the next reboot.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.30%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
