CVE Descriptions

Apache on Red Hat Linux with with the UserDir directive enabled generates different error codes when a username exists and there is no public_html directory and when the username does not exist, which could allow remote attackers to determine valid usernames on the server.

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/3335/info Versions of Apache webserver shipping with Red Hat Linux 7.0 (and possibly other Apache distributions) install with a default misconfiguration which could allow remote users to determine whether a give username exists on the vulnerable system. http://www.example.com/~<username> When a remote user makes a request for a possible user's default home page, the server returns one of three responses: In a case where <username> is a valid user account, and has been configured with a homepage, the server responds with the user's homepage. When <username> exists on the system, but has not been assigned a homepage document, the server returns the message "You don't have permission to access /~username on this server." However, if the tested username does not exist as an account on the system, the Apache server's response includes the message "The requested URL /~username was not found on this server." Because the server responds differently in the latter two cases, a remote user can test and enumerate possible usernames. Properly exploited, this information could be used in further attacks on the vulnerable hos #!/usr/local/bin/php -q <? /* default misconfiguration which could allow remote users to determine whether a give username exists on the vulnerable system.
