CVE-2008-0768

Status: ModifiedHigh (10)—

Multiple stack-based and heap-based buffer overflows in the Windows RPC components for IBM Informix Storage Manager (ISM), as used in Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) 10.00.xC8 and earlier and 11.10.xC2 and earlier, allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted XDR requests.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
