Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.2.20011102101918.029ad2d0@email.nist.gov> Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2001 10:20:57 -0500 From: Peter Mell <peter.mell@NIST.GOV> Subject: SANS Top 20 Vulnerability List Updated To: NTBUGTRAQ@LISTSERV.NTBUGTRAQ.COM
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been working
with SANS to provide an enhanced top 20 vulnerability list. The original
list produced by SANS and the FBI contained 20 important vulnerability
areas with reference to over 140 specific vulnerabilities. The specific
vulnerability references were not hyperlinked to associated vulnerability
information thereby limiting the usefulness of the document. We remedied
this deficiency by providing a version of the document that links each of
the 140 specific vulnerabilities to the associated vulnerability entry in
the NIST ICAT Metabase (http://icat.nist.gov). For each vulnerability, ICAT
provides a short description, vulnerability attributes (e.g. range and
damage potential), vulnerable software and version numbers, and links to a
variety of vulnerability and patch information. The revised top 20
vulnerability list is available from SANS at http://www.sans.org/top20.htm.
