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.

By submitting a specific url to the web server ("http://hosts.any/doc/packages/") , any user from any host may obtain a list of packages installed on a S.u.S.E 6.3 or 6.4 system. This problem is due to a configuration in the Apache httpd.conf supplied with S.u.S.E that permits anyone to request documents from this webroot subdirectory. The end result is that attackers will know what packages the victim has installed, which can assist in executing more complicated attacks.
Request "http://target/doc/packages/" with a web browser.
