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.

/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* cve-2014-3631_poc.c
*
* The assoc_array_gc function in the associative-array implementation in lib/assoc_array.c in the Linux kernel before 3.16.3
* does not properly implement garbage collection, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash)
* or possibly have unspecified other impact via multiple "keyctl newring" operations followed by a "keyctl timeout" operation.
*
*
* This is a POC to reproduce vulnerability. No exploitation here, just simple kernel panic.
*
* Compile with gcc -fno-stack-protector -Wall -o cve-2014-3631_poc cve-2014-3631_poc.c -lkeyutils
