CVE-2016-2867

Status: ModifiedHigh (7)—

IBM InfoSphere Streams before 4.0.1.2 and IBM Streams before 4.1.1.1 do not properly implement the runAsUser feature, which allows local users to obtain root group privileges via unspecified vectors.

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).
