The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures taxonomy

[Rick Smith <rick_smith () securecomputing com>]

Mitre put up a web site to encourage a common taxonomy for computer
security vulnerabilities and exposures. I've just printed out the paper.

Has anyone else looked at this? Is anyone on this list involved with the
editorial board?

Here's the URL:

This is the sort of thing that, regardless of technical merit, will be a
waste unless a critical mass of people in the community embrace it. So I'm
wondering: who else has looked at this and what level of interest is there
in using it?
