CVE-2003-1050 : 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/8990/info IBM DB2 has been reported to be prone to multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities that present themselves in binaries that are shipped with DB2. The vulnerabilities are likely caused due to a lack of sufficient boundary checks performed on user supplied command-line arguments before they are copied into a reserved buffer in memory. It has been reported that by supplying arguments of excessive length to the respective vulnerable executables a local attacker may trigger the execution of arbitrary attacker-supplied instructions with elevated privileges. [db2inst1@RiotStarter adm]$ ./db2govd stop a `perl -e 'print "A" x 65'` Segmentation fault
