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.

EDB Verified : Yes

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/2340/info Microsoft Windows 2000 and 98 are subject to a denial of service condition. Receiving a maliciously crafted email or visiting a malicious web site could prevent Windows 2000 from DNS resolution and Windows 98 from accepting any new TCP connections. This is due to a lack of restrictions on the allocation of network "sockets" by user applications. A malicious java applet placed on a website could exploit this vulnerability and cause a DoS on victim systems. for(i=0;i<m;i++) { try { DatagramSocket d = new DatagramSocket();v.addElement(d);} catch (Exception e) {System.out.println("Exhausted, i="+i);} }
