CPE, which stands for Common Platform Enumeration, is a standardized scheme for naming hardware, software, and operating systems. CPE provides a structured naming scheme to uniquely identify and classify information technology systems, platforms, and packages based on certain attributes such as vendor, product name, version, update, edition, and language.
CWE, or Common Weakness Enumeration, is a comprehensive list and categorization of software weaknesses and vulnerabilities. It serves as a common language for describing software security weaknesses in architecture, design, code, or implementation that can lead to vulnerabilities.
CAPEC, which stands for Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification, is a comprehensive, publicly available resource that documents common patterns of attack employed by adversaries in cyber attacks. This knowledge base aims to understand and articulate common vulnerabilities and the methods attackers use to exploit them.

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.
Cat Soft Serv-U 2.5/a/b,Windows 2000 Advanced Server/2000 Datacenter Server/2000 Professional/2000 Server/2000 Terminal Services/95/98/NT 4.0/NT Enterprise Server 4.0/NT Server 4.0/NT Terminal Server 4.0/NT Workstation 4.0 Shortcut Vulnerability
source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/970/info
The Windows API that handles shortcut navigation is susceptible to buffer overflow attacks. The API, "SHGetPathFromIDList" will parse a shortcut file (.lnk) to find the target file, directory or URL. A specifically malformed link will cause any program using the API to follow that shortcut to crash.
NOTE: While this vulnerability listing, as well as the exploit and the original USSR advisory only mention Serv-U FTP server, any Windows, Microsoft, or 3rd party program that uses the API could be vulnerable to this.
