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.

The DCCP support in the do_dccp_getsockopt function in net/dccp/proto.c in Linux kernel 2.6.20 and later does not verify the upper bounds of the optlen value, which allows local users running on certain architectures to read kernel memory or cause a denial of service (oops), a related issue to CVE-2007-1730.

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.

Linux Kernel DCCP Memory Disclosure Vulnerability
Synopsis:
The Linux kernel is susceptible to a locally exploitable flaw
which may allow local users to steal data from the kernel memory.
Vulnerable Systems:
Linux Kernel Versions: >= 2.6.20 with DCCP support enabled.
Kernel versions <2.6.20 lack
DCCP_SOCKOPT_SEND_CSCOV/DCCP_SOCKOPT_RECV_CSCOV optnames for
getsockopt() call with SOL_DCCP level, which are used in the
delivered POC code.

Details:
The flaw exists in do_dccp_getsockopt() function in
net/dccp/proto.c file.
-----------------------
static int do_dccp_getsockopt(struct sock *sk, int level, int optname,
char __user *optval, int __user *optlen)
...
if (get_user(len, optlen))
return -EFAULT;
if (len < sizeof(int))
return -EINVAL;
...
-----------------------
The above code doesn't check `len' variable for negative values.
Because of cast typing (len < sizeof(int)) is always true for
`len' values less than 0.
After that copy_to_user() procedure is called:
-----------------------
if (put_user(len, optlen) || copy_to_user(optval, &val, len))
return -EFAULT;
-----------------------
What happens next depends greatly on the cpu architecture in-use -
each cpu architecture has its own copy_to_user() implementation. On
the IA-32 the code below ...
-----------------------
unsigned long
copy_to_user(void __user *to, const void *from, unsigned long n)
{
BUG_ON((long) n < 0);
-----------------------
... will prevent explotation, but kernel will oops due to
invalid opcode in BUG_ON().
On some other architectures (e.g. x86-64) kernel-space data will
be copied to the user supplied buffer until end-of-kernel space
(pagefault in kernel-mode occurs) is reached.
POC:
