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/5487/info fam is a freely available, open source file alteration monitor. It is maintained and distributed by SGI, and will work on the Linux and Unix operating systems. It is possible for a user to execute fam to discover a list of monitored files. This list, while it may have been created by a user of elevated privileges, could leak information to an attacker that may be sensitive. This vulnerability requires only that the directory being 'fammed' already have had the program executed against it by a privileged user. # ls -ld /root drwxr-x--- ... root root ... /root # fam % groups | grep root ERRONEOUS BEHAVIOR % ./test -d /root FAMMonitorDirectory("/root") FAMMonitorDirectory("/root") DIR /root: /root Exists DIR /root: .gnome Exists DIR /root: Desktop Exists ... CORRECT BEHAVIOR % ./test -d /root FAMMonitorDirectory("/root") FAMMonitorDirectory("/root") DIR /root: /root Exists DIR /root: /root EndExist ---------------------------------------- (% indicates a command run as an unprivileged user)
