[$] Supplementing CVEs with !CVEs

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exploits
(CVE) system is the main mechanism for tracking various security
flaws,
using the omnipresent CVE number—even vulnerabilities with fancy names and
web sites
have CVE numbers. But the CVE system is not without its critics and, in
truth, the incentives between the reporting side and those responsible for
handling the bugs have always been misaligned, which leads to abuse of
various kinds. There have been efforts to
combat some of those abuses along the way; a newly announced
'!CVE' project is meant to track vulnerabilities 'that are not
acknowledged by vendors but
still are serious security issues'.
