Security Management White Papers
What Is a Vulnerability?
Overview Security holes/bugs are faults, defects or programming errors. These may be exploited by unauthorised users to access computer networks or web servers from the Internet. As these vulnerabilities become known, software publishers develop 'Patches,' 'Fixes' or 'Updates' that one can download to fix the problems. In the security community, the word "Vulnerability" describes a problem (such as a programming bug or common misconfiguration) that allows a system to be attacked or broken into. Culture: Finding vulnerabilities is a big part of the hacker/infosec culture.
