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 ec_dev_ioctl function in net/econet/af_econet.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36.2 does not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and configure econet addresses via an SIOCSIFADDR ioctl call.

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 <= 2.6.37 local privilege escalation
* by Dan Rosenberg
* @djrbliss on twitter
*
* Usage:
* gcc full-nelson.c -o full-nelson
* ./full-nelson
*
* This exploit leverages three vulnerabilities to get root, all of which were
* discovered by Nelson Elhage:
*
* CVE-2010-4258
* -------------
* This is the interesting one, and the reason I wrote this exploit. If a
* thread is created via clone(2) using the CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID flag, a NULL
* word will be written to a user-specified pointer when that thread exits.
* This write is done using put_user(), which ensures the provided destination
* resides in valid userspace by invoking access_ok(). However, Nelson
* discovered that when the kernel performs an address limit override via
* set_fs(KERNEL_DS) and the thread subsequently OOPSes (via BUG, page fault,
* etc.), this override is not reverted before calling put_user() in the exit
* path, allowing a user to write a NULL word to an arbitrary kernel address.
* Note that this issue requires an additional vulnerability to trigger.
*
* CVE-2010-3849
* -------------
* This is a NULL pointer dereference in the Econet protocol. By itself, it's
* fairly benign as a local denial-of-service. It's a perfect candidate to
* trigger the above issue, since it's reachable via sock_no_sendpage(), which
* subsequently calls sendmsg under KERNEL_DS.
*
* CVE-2010-3850
* -------------
* I wouldn't be able to reach the NULL pointer dereference and trigger the
* OOPS if users weren't able to assign Econet addresses to arbitrary
* interfaces due to a missing capabilities check.
*
* In the interest of public safety, this exploit was specifically designed to
* be limited:
*
* * The particular symbols I resolve are not exported on Slackware or Debian
* * Red Hat does not support Econet by default
* * CVE-2010-3849 and CVE-2010-3850 have both been patched by Ubuntu and
* Debian
*
* However, the important issue, CVE-2010-4258, affects everyone, and it would
* be trivial to find an unpatched DoS under KERNEL_DS and write a slightly
* more sophisticated version of this that doesn't have the roadblocks I put in
* to prevent abuse by script kiddies.
*
* Tested on unpatched Ubuntu 10.04 kernels, both x86 and x86-64.
*
* NOTE: the exploit process will deadlock and stay in a zombie state after you
* exit your root shell because the Econet thread OOPSes while holding the
* Econet mutex. It wouldn't be too hard to fix this up, but I didn't bother.
*
* Greets to spender, taviso, stealth, pipacs, jono, kees, and bla
