Looking at that thread (which I didn't see at the time because I no longer have time to follow this list much) I think I'd agree that the CVE system itself is the wrong scheme, not only for its own reasons but also because it doesn't reach the right targets.
All of these problems also apply to any new scheme someone sets up; what I'm suggesting is that the existing CVE infrastructure is not necessarily that much of an advantage.
One random thought, might it be worth adding structured data to CVE that basically says when the issue was made public/reported to the upstream and when upstream 1) acknowledged it (if ever) and then they patched it (if ever) and when they shipped a fixed version (if ever). Obviously then you could simply parse for the time between date reported and date acknowledged/patched/fixed and see how healthy/responsive the upstream is. - -- Kurt Seifried Red Hat Security Response Team (SRT) PGP: 0x5E267993 A90B F995 7350 148F 66BF 7554 160D 4553 5E26 7993 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJQ37rFAAoJEBYNRVNeJnmTCSgQAIB9gSFe08KOfIVY+oUzRuQw ol9jgO8wfB3zKPca1EqSabi7pXVdebTZ+MhjIwC5I7kUxNS+ME1xLU2wcnwx2nMS SILB5ZltCv+JfXdf0VuAns047P/iaK4JAMuqFrXu3Bymjui4cSr+ypN5Ao7hXygu 09nFJ9hnZIoNIMqe8xy3xCFGXFEI9EN2zOE6bJf5uxIBAA2WSmMut9trZLYHo2wZ /NAuXWZOATe/tbt24YsJSZrL9HQZTmZL756UTK5/LEn4hQtpzPVv5NpHx2KWsMGf I2GZI1QYXnVaArH+HL4ZY9antd3KEahZLsKONq7ZGefpBZBqwyVVLwe/2fD5AVXV kLkb6svEeonwQevIYdj59pmIUuvKF0ooWdWasNnIqKWFh7en3yyuiy1ewKayGyTn 5AMdxKsx4byYGQDQsBgJERZCTRol17XiUwetuNPRWOW3gDCPMmdLeokgWp2esxaf INZXlKkcfgJvU69ke1fdaPfUo5abw52+3iYABzbTMzDXdNl1MezT6Pz78GNRyPPh xbpxEg5oqMttw+19AoC8yO7JIPdggGsMqhPDLD345moihXXh8FIidB5NFziSBT0z /sG4GjTPxOwzCs9hHnlxjtcw2SBYnil8SqGyA4LsesbL2+FGp4y3+iaM0p3ydVjU bjhIXvSv8FOZnDgoXp61 =DTEx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
