CVE-2021-29708
IBM Spectrum Scale 5.1.0.1 could allow a local with access to the GUI pod container to obtain sensitive cryptographic keys that could allow them to elevate their privileges.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.26%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
