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.

DMI is the Desktop Management Interface, and is a suite of application management programs shipped with Sun's Solaris. Each application that is managed through DMI has a MIF record (which contains information about its managable components and properties) that can be inserted into the MIF database (/var/dmi/db) through the dmisp (DMI Service Providor) daemon. There is no authentication performed on who submits new MIFs, meaning anybody can do it. This creates two possible denial of service conditions. The first is consumption of disk space in /var. There are no limits (set by default) on how much space the DMI database can use. This may be used in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to prevent logging, etc. A second vulnerability is a buffer overflow condition in dmispd when MIFs are a certain size. It may be exploitable beyond being a simple denial of service (it may be possible to execute arbitrary code as root remotely).
Buffer Overflow Crash:
echo `perl -e "print 'A' x 1000"` > /usr/home/btellier/my.mif
dmi_cmd -CI ../../../usr/home/btellier/my.mif
(dmispd segfaults)
