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.

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/2569/info The shared library 'ndwfn4.so' that ships with Oracle Application Server is vulnerable to a buffer overflow. The library is used to handle web requests passed to it by the iPlanet web server. If the library is sent a request longer than approximately 2050 characters, it will overflow. A request string could be constructed to trigger the overflow and allow a malicious remote user to execute unprivileged arbitrary code. No exploit is publically available. Assuming the OAS prefix is /jsp/ and the vulnerable host is 'victim', the following command issued by the attacker will cause the iWS to coredump: perl -e 'print "GET /jsp/","A"x2050," HTTP/1.0\n\n"' | nc victim 80
