CVE-2002-1374 : Detail

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.

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.

/* source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6373/info A flaw in the password authentication mechanism for MySQL may make it possible for an authenticated database user to compromise the accounts of other database users. The flaw lies in the fact that the server uses a string returned by the client when the COM_CHANGE_USER command is issued to iterate through a comparison when attempting to authenticate the password. An attacker may authenticate as another database user if they can successfully guess the first character of the correct password for that user. The range of the valid character set for passwords is 32 characters, which means that a malicious user can authenticate after a maximum of 32 attempts if they cycle through all of the valid characters. */ /*********************************************************** * hoagie_mysql.c * * local and remote exploit for mysql <= 3.23.53a * * new years present .... works also for 3.23.54 openbsd * (head) date 16/12/2002 * * hey after some code checking and patching my mysql server * i relized, that this patch doesnt protect you against * this vulnerability. * The length of the scramble string is important for the * password check and not the length of the password. * * perhaps other system are also still vulnerable * * gcc hoagie_mysql.c -o hoagie_mysql -lmysqlclient -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib/mysql * * Author: Andi <[email protected]> * * Greetz to Greuff, philipp and the other hoagie-fellas :-) * * With this exploit you can also do that nasty things: * http://void.at/andi/mysql.pdf * * $ ./hoagie_mysql -u dbuser -p dbpass * connecting to [localhost] as [dbpass] ... ok * sending one byte requests with user [root] ... * root 13fb921913f4b3b1 * root * ........... * ........ * $ * * If root or the attack user has no passwort set, this * exploit will fail -> thx to philipp * * THIS FILE IS FOR STUDYING PURPOSES ONLY AND A PROOF-OF- * CONCEPT.
