CVE-2020-4278
IBM Platform LSF 9.1 and 10.1, IBM Spectrum LSF Suite 10.2, and IBM Spectrum Suite for HPA 10.2 could allow a local user to escalate their privileges due to weak file permissions when specific debug settings are enabled in a Linux or Unix enviornment.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.27%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
