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.

Windows 95/98,Windows NT Enterprise Server 4.0 SP1/SP2/SP3/SP4/SP5/SP6,Windows NT Server 4.0 SP1/SP2/SP3/SP4/SP5/SP6/SP6a,Windows NT Terminal Server 4.0 SP1/SP2/SP3/SP4/SP5/SP6,Windows NT Workstation 4.0 SP1/SP2/SP3/SP4/SP5/SP6/SP6a Riched Buffer Overflow Vulnerability source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/807/info Riched20.dll and Riched32.dll, which Windows uses to parse Rich Text Forrmat files, have an unchecked buffer which allows arbitrary code to be executed. The code can be put into an .rtf file and emailed to the victim. Then if the victim opens the document, the code will be run at the same privilege level as the user. NOTE: It has been reported on the Bugtraq mailing list that the patch provided by Microsoft does not completely fix the problem. A .rtf file with 1000 characters (instead of the original 32) will still crash the application reading the .rtf file. This will crash Wordpad: Create an .rtf file, then open it in notepad. The first line will look something like this: {\rtf1\ansi\deff0\deftab720{\fonttbl...etc....etc Now insert 32 characters after the .rtf identifier: {\rtf1\AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAansi\deff0\deftab720{\fonttbl...etc...etc When this file is opened in Wordpad, the program will crash. https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb-bin-sploits/-/raw/main/bin-sploits/19633.wri
