Classification/Enumeration of Software Defect Mitigations

["Steven M. Christey" <coley () linus mitre org>]

All,

Both WASC and the MITRE CWE team have begun exploring the feasibility of 
enumerating or classifying the types of mitigations that are used to fix 
software defects/weaknesses.  Does anybody know of such work in this area? 
(We can draw from sources such as McGraw/Viega "Building Secure Software," 
and 'indirect' sources such as ESAPI, but I was wondering if there was 
something that was a little more focused on mitigations.)

CWE status:

WASC status:

Thanks,
Steve
