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.

MIT Kerberos is prone to a remote memory-corruption vulnerability.
An authenticated attacker can exploit this issue by sending specially crafted ticket-renewal requests to a vulnerable computer.
Successfully exploiting this issue can allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code with superuser privileges, completely compromising the affected computer. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
The following proof-of-concept command is available:
% kinit -R
We currently are unaware of any exploits that result in code-execution.
