Last modified

CVE-2016-2927 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. IBM BigFix Remote Control before 9.1.3 does not properly restrict the set of available encryption algorithms, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic protection mechanisms by sniffing the network and performing calculations on encrypted data.. EPSS estimates a 0.81% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
