Threat Intelligence
The probability is the direct output of the EPSS model, and conveys an overall sense of the threat of exploitation in the wild. The percentile measures the EPSS probability relative to all known EPSS scores. Note: This data is updated daily, relying on the latest available EPSS model version. Check out the EPSS documentation for more details.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
do_sys_name_to_handle(): use kzalloc() to fix kernel-infoleak
syzbot identified a kernel information leak vulnerability in do_sys_name_to_handle() and issued the following report [1].

Per Chuck Lever's suggestion, use kzalloc() instead of kmalloc() to solve the problem.
