CVE-2018-1515
IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows (includes DB2 Connect Server) 10.5 and 11.1, under specific or unusual conditions, could allow a local user to overflow a buffer which may result in a privilege escalation to the DB2 instance owner.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.35%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
