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.

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.

A vulnerability exists in the handling of the DISPLAY variable, in versions of Gnomelib shipped with S.u.S.E. Linux, version 6.3. By supplying a long buffer containing machine executable code in the DISPLAY environment variable, it is possible to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the binary. In the case of a setuid binary, it is possible to obtain the privileges of the user it is setuid to. This in turn may be used to elevate privileges, and in theory could result in local root compromise.
S.u.S.E. 6.3 ships with 1 setgid application, /opt/gnome/sbin/gnome-pty-helper, which is setgid tty. 6.4 ships with setgid gnome games. The version of gnomelib included with S.u.S.E. 6.4 is not vulnerable to this attack, however.
/*
Gnomelib exploit by bladi & aLmUDeNa
All gnome apps have an exploitable buffer overflow
(gnomelib) when get DISPLAY environment variable.
Affected: S.u.S.E Linux: 6.3
Not vulnerable: RedHat 6.x
Linpus Linux release 6.3
Debian
NoTe:
don't forget to put 6M in /tmp
---------(6M.c)---------
void main() {
setuid(geteuid());
setregid(getegid(), getegid());
system("/bin/bash");
}
---------(6M.c)---------
Bueno un saludo a todos los que nos conocen/quieren/odian,
bueno ya llevamos 6 meses y esperamos que dure mucho mas ;*
