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/1751/info The IRIX's /usr/lib/desktop/permissions tool is a suid and sgid root applications normally used by users to modify permissions of their files and files they are privileged for. A vulnerability in the permissions tool allows local malicious users to modify the permissions of any file on the system. This is SGI SCR # 265071. If you attempt to change the permissions of a file you don't have privileges for the permissions tool will prompt you for the name and password of a privileged user. But the permission changes are made to the target file before the tool prompts you for the password if you double click "Apply". Run /usr/lib/desktop/permissions aganist the file which permissions you want to modify. Change the permissions. Click on the 'Apply' button twice before the dialog box appears asking you for a username and password. Click the 'Cancel' button.
