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/291/info The version of arp(8c) which shipped with versions of SunOs 4.1.X could be used to dump system memory by using the -f flag. This flag causes the file filename to be read and multiple entries to be set in the ARP tables. However, in this instance because of poor permission sets on /dev/kmem a user can specify the file to be read as /dev/kmem and therefore gain a dump of currently paged system memory. This could lead to a root compromise. $ arp -f /dev/kmem | strings > mem
