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/17077/info Firebird is susceptible to a local buffer-overflow vulnerability. This issue is due to the application's failure to properly check boundaries of user-supplied command-line argument data before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer. Attackers may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary machine code with elevated privileges, because the affected binaries are often installed with setuid privileges. ./fbserver -p `perl -e 'print "a"x155;'`1234
