FEATURE STORY:

15,000+ CVE Names Now Available on the CVE Web Site!

The CVE Web site now contains 15,024 unique information security issues
with publicly known names. Of these, 3,053 have CVE entry status and
12,726 have candidate status pending approval by the CVE Editorial
Board. CVE names are used by information security product/service
vendors and researchers as a standard method for identifying
vulnerabilities and for cross-linking with other repositories that also
use CVE names.

CVE names are unique, common identifiers for publicly known information
security vulnerabilities. Each CVE name includes the following: the CVE
identifier number (i.e., "CVE-1999-0067"); indication of "entry" or
"candidate" status; brief description of the security vulnerability or
exposure; and any pertinent references (i.e., vulnerability reports and
advisories or OVAL-ID).

Visit the CVE-Compatible Products and Services page to find out about
the 238 products that use CVE names (of which, 56 are "Officially
CVE-Compatible"), or see Organizations with CVE Names in Advisories for
a list of the 70 organizations to-date that are including or have
included CVE names in their advisories.
