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.

The QSslSocketBackendPrivate::transmit function in src_network_ssl_qsslsocket_openssl.cpp in Qt 4.6.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a malformed request.

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.

1) Introduction
===============
From vendor's website:
"Qt is a cross-platform application and UI framework.
Using Qt, you can write web-enabled applications once and deploy them
across desktop, mobile and embedded operating systems without rewriting
the source code."

2) Bug
======
The part of the network library which handles the SSL connection can be
tricked into an endless loop that freezes the whole application with
CPU at 100%.
The problem is located in the QSslSocketBackendPrivate::transmit()
function in src_network_ssl_qsslsocket_openssl.cpp that never exits
from the main "while" loop.
Any application that acts as a server (and client, but has no security
impact in this scenario) and uses SSL through the QSslSocket class is
vulnerable and some examples are the Mumble server (Murmur),
Multi-Computer Virtual Whiteboard and so on.
