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/209/info The ping program is used to assess network connectivity between network devices. A denial of service condition exists in the ping program that may cause the system to panic by sending ping requests to a multicast address through the loopback interface. The system will ping itself; however, the incoming queue pointer is not yet initialized when the packet is received. Thus, the system will panic. %ping -sv -i 127.0.0.1 224.0.0.1
