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.

Quoted from a Microsoft FAQ, "Point-to-Point-Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a new networking technology that supports multiprotocol virtual private networks (VPN), enabling remote users to access corporate networks securely across the Microsoft Windows NT Workstation, Windows 95, and Windows 98 operating systems and other point-to-point protocol (PPP)-enabled systems to dial into a local Internet service provider to connect securely to their corporate network through the Internet." On Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 up to and including Service Pack 4 running this service a denial of service is possible. This is accomplished by connecting to port 1723 (the PPTP/VPN service's port) and sending garbage (~256 characters) followed by control-d. This causes the target machine to reboot.
