Hey all, Anybody have any idea what the deal is with this CVE, since it's referenced in http://media.pixalate.com/white-papers/xindi.pdf? It's being splattered all over the news, but the CVE is still in "reservered" Zach W.
As per the Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Vulnerabilities_and_Exposures#Description This is a standardized text description of the issue(s). One common entry is: ** RESERVED ** This candidate has been reserved by an organization or individual that will use it when announcing a new security problem. When the candidate has been publicized, the details for this candidate will be provided. This means that the entry number has been reserved by Mitre for an issue or a CNA has reserved the number. So in the case where a CNA requests a block of CVE numbers in advance (e.g. Red Hat currently requests CVEs in blocks of 500), the CVE number will be marked as reserved even though the CVE itself may not be assigned by the CNA for some time. Until the CVE is assigned AND Mitre is made aware of it (e.g. the embargo passes and the issue is made public), AND Mitre has researched the issue and written a description of it, entries will show up as "** RESERVED **". -- -- Kurt Seifried -- Red Hat -- Product Security -- Cloud PGP A90B F995 7350 148F 66BF 7554 160D 4553 5E26 7993 Red Hat Product Security contact: secalert () redhat com
