CVE-2018-1448
IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows 9.7, 10.1, 10.5, and 11.1 (includes DB2 Connect Server) contains a vulnerability that could allow a local user to overwrite arbitrary files owned by the DB2 instance owner.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.38%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
