CPE, which stands for Common Platform Enumeration, is a standardized scheme for naming hardware, software, and operating systems. CPE provides a structured naming scheme to uniquely identify and classify information technology systems, platforms, and packages based on certain attributes such as vendor, product name, version, update, edition, and language.
CWE, or Common Weakness Enumeration, is a comprehensive list and categorization of software weaknesses and vulnerabilities. It serves as a common language for describing software security weaknesses in architecture, design, code, or implementation that can lead to vulnerabilities.
CAPEC, which stands for Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification, is a comprehensive, publicly available resource that documents common patterns of attack employed by adversaries in cyber attacks. This knowledge base aims to understand and articulate common vulnerabilities and the methods attackers use to exploit them.

Integer overflow in the Open function in modules/demux/tta.c in VLC Media Player 0.8.6i allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted TTA file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
Category : Numeric Errors Weaknesses in this category are related to improper calculation or conversion of numbers.

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.

fmt.audio.i_channels = GetWLE( &p_header[6] );
fmt.audio.i_bitspersample = GetWLE( &p_header[8] );
[1] fmt.audio.i_rate = GetDWLE( &p_header[10] );
p_sys->i_datalength = GetDWLE( &p_header[14] );
p_sys->i_framelength = TTA_FRAMETIME * fmt.audio.i_rate;
[2] p_sys->i_totalframes = p_sys->i_datalength / p_sys->i_framelength +
((p_sys->i_datalength % p_sys->i_framelength) ? 1 : 0);
p_sys->i_currentframe = 0;
[3] i_seektable_size = sizeof(uint32_t)*p_sys->i_totalframes;
p_seektable = (uint8_t *)malloc( i_seektable_size );
stream_Read( p_demux->s, p_seektable, i_seektable_size );
p_sys->pi_seektable = (uint32_t *)malloc(i_seektable_size);
for( i = 0; i < p_sys->i_totalframes; i++ )
[4] p_sys->pi_seektable[i] = GetDWLE( &p_seektable[i*4] );
[1] - we can set i_rate to 1
[2] - i_framelength = 1 (look for constant definition, it's ~1),
so i_totalframes = i_datalength
[3] - because we can set i_datalength to 2^30 and bacause
i_totalframes = i_datalength, multiplication will overflow
[4] - i_totalframes is positive (highest bit not set), so this loop will
spin 2^30 times, overwriting everything with data from the heap.
unfortunate thing is we have little control over what is written.
