IBM MQ could allow an authenticated attacker to cause a denial of service or potentially escalate privileges due to a heap buffer overflow when processing MQPUT operations with malformed distribution headers.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.49%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
