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/1232/info A vulnerability exists in OpenLDAP as shipped with some versions of Linux, including RedHat 6.1 and 6.2, and TurboLinux 6.0.2 and earlier. OpenLDAP will create files in /usr/tmp, which is actually a symbolic link to the world writable /tmp directory. As OpenLDAP does not check for a files existence prior to opening the files in /usr/tmp, it is possible for an attacker to point an appropriately named symbolic link at any file on the filesystem, and cause it to be destroyed. This vulnerability will also affect any Unix system with OpenLDAP assuming the following criteria is true: 1) slapd.conf configures the "directory" variable to be /usr/tmp 2) /usr/tmp is a world writable directory. 3) slurpd was built with the DEFAULT_SLURPD_REPLICA_DIR set to /usr/tmp ln -sf /etc/passwd /usr/tmp/NEXTID
