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/1130/info A vulnerability exists in SuSE Linux, version 6.3 and prior, that can allow arbitrary users to delete any file on the system. If the MAX_DAYS_IN_TMP variable is set in /etc/rc.config to be larger than 0, any local user can remove any file on the system. This is due to a flaw in /etc/cron.daily/aaa_base in SuSE 6.3, or /root/bin/cron.daily in older versions. It has been reported that only files in the root directory (/) can be removed. Previously, it was thought arbitrary files anywhere on the filesystem could be removed. mkdir -p "/tmp/foo vmlinux" touch -t old-date "/tmp/foo vmlinux"
