CPE, which stands for Common Platform Enumeration, is a standardized scheme for naming hardware, software, and operating systems. CPE provides a structured naming scheme to uniquely identify and classify information technology systems, platforms, and packages based on certain attributes such as vendor, product name, version, update, edition, and language.
CWE, or Common Weakness Enumeration, is a comprehensive list and categorization of software weaknesses and vulnerabilities. It serves as a common language for describing software security weaknesses in architecture, design, code, or implementation that can lead to vulnerabilities.
CAPEC, which stands for Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification, is a comprehensive, publicly available resource that documents common patterns of attack employed by adversaries in cyber attacks. This knowledge base aims to understand and articulate common vulnerabilities and the methods attackers use to exploit them.

Buffer overflow in the Private Communications Transport (PCT) protocol implementation in the Microsoft SSL library, as used in Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 SP6a, 2000 SP2 through SP4, XP SP1, Server 2003, NetMeeting, Windows 98, and Windows ME, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via PCT 1.0 handshake packets.

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.

This module exploits a buffer overflow in the Microsoft
Windows SSL PCT protocol stack. This code is based on Johnny
Cyberpunk's THC release and has been tested against Windows
2000 and Windows XP. To use this module, specify the remote
port of any SSL service, or the port and protocol of an
application that uses SSL. The only application protocol
supported at this time is SMTP. You only have one chance to
select the correct target, if you are attacking IIS, you may
want to try one of the other exploits first (WebDAV). If
WebDAV does not work, this more than likely means that this
is either Windows 2000 SP4+ or Windows XP (IIS 5.0 vs IIS
5.1). Using the wrong target may not result in an immediate
crash of the remote system.
