CVE-2020-5015
IBM Elastic Storage System 6.0.0 through 6.0.1.2 and IBM Elastic Storage Server 5.3.0 through 5.3.6.2 could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service by sending malformed UDP requests.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.55%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
