CVE-2017-9267
In Novell eDirectory before 9.0.3.1 the LDAP interface was not strictly enforcing cipher restrictions allowing weaker ciphers to be used during SSL BIND operations.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.03%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
