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.

TITLE VLC Media Player XSPF Local File Integer overflow in XSPF playlist parser AFFECTED VERSIONS VLC media player 1.1.9 down to 0.8.5 VENDOR VideoLAN Organisation CLASS Denial of Service (DoS) RESOURCES http://www.videolan.org/security/sa1104.html PRODUCT DESCRIPTION VLC is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework that plays most multimedia files as well as DVD, Audio CD, VCD, and various streaming protocols. TECHNICAL DETAILS XSPF file is the XML format for sharing playlists. A sample of the XSPF document is as follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <playlist version="1" xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/"> <trackList> <track><location>file:///crash/tecr0c.mp3</location></track> </trackList> </playlist> The VLC XSPF file uses a tag <vlc:id></vlc:id> in the component Demuxers: Playlist which accepts decimal values for the vlc:id. When entering a large value that is beyond the memory segment that is allocated for program data the program crashes. Setting <vlc:id> value to 1073741823,e.g. <vlc:id>1073741823</vlc:id> will results in a MEMORY ACCESS VIOLATION and the application crash. The vulnerable code in module libplaylist_plugin.dll looks like (pseudo C code example): do { __counter += 8; mem->dword0 = 0; mem->dword4 = 0; mem->dword8 = 0; mem->dwordC = 0; mem->dword10 = 0; mem->dword14 = 0; mem->dword18 = 0; mem->dword1C = 0; ++mem; <-- violation happens here when mem value is greater then memory segment } while ( __counter <= __controlled_value_edx ); } }; Once we hit an address that does not exist we will result in a Denial of Service condition.
