IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

Download Options for CVE List to be Modified on July 19th

On July 19, 2006 downloads of the CVE List will no longer be available
with the old-style "CAN" prefix. The CVE naming scheme was modified on
October 19, 2005 to replace the "CAN" prefix with a "CVE" prefix in all
CVE names. Downloads using only the "CVE" prefix will continue to be
offered in three options: (1) a single list combining both CVE names
with "entry" and "candidate" status, (2) entries only, and (3)
candidates only. Each option is available in multiple formats: XML,
HTML, Text, and comma separated. The "CAN" prefix downloads were
continued for eight months to support the transition from the old
format.

CVE information is also available from external resources including CVE
Change Logs, a free tool from CERIAS/Purdue University that records
changes to the CVE List, and the U.S. National Vulnerability Database
(NVD), which is based upon CVE names and offers a variety of search and
download options.
