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.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the CIFS.NLM driver in Netware SMB 1.0 for Novell Netware 6.5 SP8 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a Sessions Setup AndX packet with a long AccountName.
Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.

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.

Stratsec Security Advisory: SS-2010-006
===============================================================================
Title: Netware SMB Remote Stack Overflow
Version: 1.0
Issue type: Stack Overflow
Affected vendor: Novell
Release date: 17/06/2010
Discovered by: Laurent Gaffié
Issue status: Patch available
===============================================================================
Summary
-------
A vulnerability exists in the Netware CIFS.NLM driver which allows an attacker
to trigger a kernel stack overflow by sending a specific 'Sessions Setup AndX'
query. Successful exploitation of this issue will result in remote code
execution with kernel privileges. Failed attempts may result in a remote denial
of service.
Description
-----------
The Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, also known as Common Internet File
System (CIFS) acts as an application-layer protocol to provide shared access
to files, printers and Inter-Process Communication (IPC). It is also a transport
for Distributed Computing Environment / Remote Procedure Call (DCE / RPC)
operations.After negotiating a SMB communication the client sends a
'Session Setup AndX' packet to negotiate a session, to be able to connect on a
specific share. By sending a specially crafted request packet containing a long
'AccountName' value, it is possible trigger a kernel stack overflow.
Impact
------
A remote attacker may be able to remotely execute code with kernel privileges
on affected Netware systems. Failed attempts will result in a denial of service.
Affected products
-----------------
Netware version 6.5 SP8 and prior.
