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.

// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/23355/info The 'man' command is prone to a local buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied input before using it in a memory copy operation. NOTE: Presumably, this issue is exploitable only when 'man' has been installed setuid. Exploiting this issue allows attackers to execute malicious machine code with the privileges of the 'man' utility. This can result in the compromise of affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.
