CVE-2006-1540 : 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.

Since BIFF5, all data is saved in OLE2 Storage Format/Structured Storage, which can contain streams and storages. A BIFF record is builded as follows: Offset Size Contents 0 2 Identifier } 2 2 Size of the following data (sz) } Record header 4 sz Data The XLS File Format =================== If we open an Excel .xls workbook document with a hexeditor, we can see the below block of records, which exists multiple times within an Excel document.
