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.

lib/pk-libgcrypt.c in libgnutls in GnuTLS before 2.6.6 does not properly handle invalid DSA signatures, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly have unspecified other impact via a malformed DSA key that triggers a (1) free of an uninitialized pointer or (2) double free.
Access of Uninitialized Pointer The product accesses or uses a pointer that has not been initialized.

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.

GnuTLS is prone to multiple remote vulnerabilities:
- A remote code-execution vulnerability
- A denial-of-service vulnerability
- A signature-generation vulnerability
- A signature-verification vulnerability
An attacker can exploit these issues to potentially execute arbitrary code, trigger denial-of-service conditions, carry out attacks against data signed with weak signatures, and cause clients to accept expired or invalid certificates from servers.
Versions prior to GnuTLS 2.6.6 are vulnerable.
/*
* Small code to reproduce the CVE-2009-1415 double-free problem.
*
* Build it using:
*
* gcc -o cve-2009-1415 cve-2009-1415.c -lgnutls
*
* If your gnutls library is OK then running it will just print 'success!'.
*
* If your gnutls library is buggy, then running it will crash like this:
*
* ** glibc detected *** ./cve-2009-1415: munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0xb7f80a9c ***
* ======= Backtrace: =========
* ...
