CVE Descriptions
The Microsoft Windows network stack allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a flood of malformed ARP request packets with random source IP and MAC addresses, as demonstrated by ARPNuke.

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.

A potential denial of service vulnerability exists in some versions of the Microsoft Windows network stack.
The problem occurs when a large number of extraneous ARP packets sent to a host running Windows. This can cause the system to use all available CPU and memory resources and thus become unresponsive until the attack ends.
By sending ARP requests to the Ethernet broadcast address, it may be possible to use this attack to disable an entire network.
