CVE-2020-4414
Status: ModifiedMedium (4.4)—
IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows (includes DB2 Connect Server) 9.7, 10.1, 10.5, 11.1, and 11.5 could allow a local attacker to perform unauthorized actions on the system, caused by improper usage of shared memory. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service. IBM X-Force ID: 179989.
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L
- Base score: 4.4
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.34%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 26
- Score date: 10/17/2026
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).
