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.

Apple Safari Web Browser is reported to be prone to a security vulnerability related to handling of large JavaScript arrays (with 99999999999999999999999 or 0x23000000 elements). By declaring such an array and then attempting to access it, it may be possible to cause a browser crash.
This issue is likely due to memory corruption but it is not known if it could be further exploitable to execute arbitrary code.
var a = new Array(99999999999999999999999);
a[0+5]="AAAAA";
and:
var bam = new Array(0x23000000);
bam.sort(new Function("return 1"));
