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.

Due to a flaw in the pattern-matching function used by FTP commands, denial of service attacks can be successfully launched. If a user submits an FTP command along with a filename containing specially placed wildcard sequences, the pattern-matching function will not allocate sufficent memory. Resulting in IIS experiencing denial of service condition.
