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/12312/info Konversation is a freely available IRC client for KDE windows environments on Linux platforms. Multiple remote vulnerabilities affect the Konversation IRC client. These issues are due to input validation failures and design flaws. The first issue is due to a failure of the application to filter various parameters from the IRC environment prior to including them in commands made to the underlying operating system. The second issue affects the QuickButtons functionality of the vulnerable application. Finally a design error causes the quick connect dialogue to confuse a supplied nickname with a supplied password. An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary shell and Konversation commands, potentially leading to denial of service attacks and system compromise. When an unsuspecting user joins a channel named #%n/quit%n and the Part Button their client will quit. When an unsuspecting user enters a channel named #`kwrite` and executes the /uptime command, the kwrite application will be activated.
