No, I like the idea of being able to talk about a worm with the same
identifier as the poor misguided trend users I work with, but the idea
that
Initially, only high-impact viruses and worms will receive CME
numbers, though Mitre may extend CME numbers to lower-level
threats once the program is up and running, she said.
Which means that most of the threats will be without an identifier at
all, and
When multiple examples of new malicious code are submitted
within the 2-hour window, Mitre will ask anti-virus company
researchers to work out conflicts in definitions and submit
one or more samples for numbering, Connolly said.
Which means that any database linking would be n:n, which is terribly
un-helpful.
