CVE-2015-5039 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The Remote Client and change management integrations in IBM Rational ClearCase 7.1.x, 8.0.0.x before 8.0.0.18, and 8.0.1.x before 8.0.1.11 do not properly validate hostnames in X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows remote attackers to spoof servers and obtain sensitive information or modify network traffic via a crafted certificate. IBM X-Force ID: 106715.. EPSS estimates a 1.17% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
