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.

===== The file I have attached is a very basic two stage bug. stage 1 (the first mod) forces the code down a wrong path. the second mod by itsself is harmless, however when used with the first it will be the first and part of the second overwrite. I have use 41414141 as a marker to make it easier for you to see. I have made it crash the wordviewer again to make it more obvious Weight, location: 00000274 value : 00000022 - just so it crashes, values 00000001 -> 00000006 are probably the most useful for trying to overwrite a pointer. notice that neighbouring areas can be weighted the same. marker, location: 000027e4 value : 41414141 the weight destination address == ((weight * 4[this is EDI]) + 4 [ECX*4]) + source memory offest[ESI]. [also the meta data is microsofts, not mine] ====== bug hugs, disco. poc: https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb-bin-sploits/-/raw/main/bin-sploits/2922.doc (12122006-djtest.doc) # milw0rm.com [2006-12-12]
