[$] A turning point for CVE numbers
Wednesday February 14, 2024. 06:05 PM , from LWN.net
The Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures (CVE) system was set up in 1999 as a way to refer unambiguously to known vulnerabilities in software. That system has found itself under increasing strain over the years, and numerous projects have responded by trying to assert greater control over how CVE numbers are assigned for their code. On February 13, though, a big shoe dropped when the Linux kernel project announced that it, too, was taking control of CVE-number assignments. As is often the case, though, the kernel developers are taking a different approach to vulnerabilities, with possible implications for the CVE system as a whole.
