National Vulnerability Database from NIST
Every IT professional should bookmark the new cyber vulnerability resource from NIST (National Institution of Standards and Technology). Sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security National Cyber Security Division and US-CERT, the new National Vulnerability Database (NVD) integrates all publicly available U.S. Government vulnerability resources and provides references to industry resources. As of the time of this writing, the database contains 12,006 vulnerabilities (!), 491 US-CERT Alerts, and 1097 US-CERT Vulnerability Notes.
Recent vulnerabilities are chronicled in reverse chronological order. The one posted today involves a popular Web site stat-tracking program. Each vulnerability is briefly described and its severity is rated.
Access the NVD.
