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.

Exploit information

Exploit Database EDB-ID : 21375

EDB Verified : Yes

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/4501/info The Internet Software Consortium (ISC) Internet News (INN) project is a powerful, mature implementation of a usenet system, including a NNTP server and a newsreading server. It is available for a wide range of Unix based systems, including Linux. Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in two components of INN, inews and rnews. Reportedly, both are vulnerable to locally exploitable format string problems. Under some systems these binaries may be installed suid root or sgid news, allowing a local attacker to gain elevated privileges. https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb-bin-sploits/-/raw/main/bin-sploits/21375.tar.gz
