CVE-2018-1428
IBM GSKit (IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows 9.7, 10.1, 10.5, and 11.1) uses weaker than expected cryptographic algorithms that could allow an attacker to decrypt highly sensitive information.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.28%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
