CVE-2018-1419
IBM WebSphere MQ 8.0 and 9.0, when configured to use a PAM module for authentication, could allow a user to cause a deadlock in the IBM MQ PAM code which could result in a denial of service.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.08%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
