Notifications for a CVE
Stay informed of any changes for a specific CVE.
CVE Descriptions
Buffer underflow in the header function in PHP 5.2.0 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code by passing an all-whitespace string to this function, which causes it to write '\0' characters in whitespace that precedes the string.
CVE Informations
Metrics
| Metrics | Score | Severity | CVSS Vector | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| V2 | 6.8 | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P | [email protected] |
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.
