CVE-2001-0172 : 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/2180/info ReiserFS is a file system alternative to the Linux ext2 file system. It was originally written by Hans Reiser, and is freely available and publicly maintained. A problem has been reported in the handling of long file names with ReiserFS version 3.5.28 on SuSE Linux distribution 7.0. It is possible to create a directory with a long file name (the initial example displayed a directory with 768 characters), then attempt to list the file system using system binary ls or with built in shell function echo and create a Denial of Service. Upon attempting to list or echo the contents of the filesystem, a kernel buffer overflow occurs, overwriting variables on the stack including possibly the return address, as well as crashing the system. It may be possible for a malicious user to execute arbitrary code, deny service to legitimate users, and potentially break out of a chroot environment. This vulnerability is yet unverified. mkdir "$(perl -e 'print "x" x 768')"
