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 HFS in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.7 allows local users to read arbitrary (1) HFS, (2) HFS+, or (3) HFS+J files via a crafted F_READBOOTSTRAP ioctl call.
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.

Apple Mac OS X is prone to a local information-disclosure vulnerability because of an integer-overflow error in the HFS subsystem.
A local attacker can exploit this issue to obtain sensitive information that may lead to further attacks. Due to the nature of this issue, local attackers may be able to execute arbitrary code in the context of the kernel, but this has not been confirmed.
Versions prior to OS X 10.6.7 are vulnerable.
NOTE: This issue was previously discussed in BID 46950 (Apple Mac OS X Prior to 10.6.7 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document it.
/*
* Apple HFS+ F_READBOOTSTRAP Information Disclosure
* by Dan Rosenberg of Virtual Security Research, LLC
* @djrbliss on twitter
*
* Usage:
* $ gcc hfs-dump.c -o hfs-dump
* $ ./hfs-dump [size] [outfile]
*
* ----
*
* F_READBOOTSTRAP is an HFS+ fcntl designed to allow unprivileged callers to
* retrieve the first 1024 bytes of the filesystem, which contains information
* related to bootstrapping.
*
* However, due to an integer overflow in checking the requested range of
* bytes, it is possible to retrieve arbitrary filesystem blocks, leading to an
* information disclosure vulnerability.
*
* This issue was originally reported to Apple on July 1, 2010. The fix was a
* single line long and took more than 8 months to release. No gold stars were
* awarded.
