CVE-2017-9034
Trend Micro ServerProtect for Linux 3.0 before CP 1531 allows attackers to write to arbitrary files and consequently execute arbitrary code with root privileges by leveraging failure to validate software updates.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.98%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
