Use of the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) Vulnerability Naming Scheme
Overview This document provides guidelines for federal organizations' acquisition and use of security-related information technology (IT) products and services. NIST's advice is provided in the context of larger recommendations regarding security assurance. Most federal departments and agencies use commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) security products and services to track, detect, or counter known vulnerabilities. A problem with many of these products is that different products use different names for the same vulnerabilities. Without a consistent vulnerability terminology, it is difficult to compare the vulnerability coverage of such security products.
