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.

It then uses that topology as the basis for intelligent root cause analysis to enhance network availability and performance." ####################################################################### ======= 2) Bugs ======= ------------------------------ A] format string in ovalarmsrv ------------------------------ The ovalarmsrv.exe process listening on port 2953 is affected by a format string vulnerability caused by the calling of ov.fprintf_new (which then calls vsprintf) using the final message without a format argument: "Connection Refused; Data in listener port corrupt: ATTACKER_STRING" ------------------------------------------ B] multiple buffer-overflows in ovalarmsrv ------------------------------------------ The same process listens also on port 2954 where are handled some types of requests using specific sscanf formats: REQUEST_SEV_CHANGE (47): "%d %d %d %[^\n]" REQUEST_SAVE_STATE (61): "%d %[^\n]s" REQUEST_LOCAL (66): "%d" REQUEST_RESTORE_STATE (62): "%d %s" REQUEST_SAVE_DIR (63): As visible by the previous format arguments there are no checks on the length of the client string handled by the requests 47, 61 and 62 which can be used to exploit a stack based buffer-overflow vulnerability using a string parameter longer than 512 bytes. ---------------------------------- C] Denial of Service in ovalarmsrv ---------------------------------- Another problem of the ovalarmsrv service is that it can be easily freezed with CPU at 100% and without the possibility of handling further requests on port 2953/2954 simply sending some invalid values. ####################################################################### =========== 3) The Code =========== A] echo %n%n%s%n%n%s | nc SERVER 2953 -v -v B] echo 62 AAAAAAAAAAAAA...512_'A's...AAAAAAAAAAAAA | nc SERVER 2954 -v -v C] echo 47 1 2 what_you_want | nc SERVER 2954 -v -v -w 1 ####################################################################### ====== 4) Fix ====== No fix ####################################################################### # milw0rm.com [2008-04-07]
