Hello :Regarding the vulnerability

2007-05-03 Thread darshan na

Hi ,
I am student at one of the German Universtiy and i had a task of
Benchmarking the Vulenrability Providers based on the features they provide
and ,its really nice that you provide vulnerablity information in xml format
and this is really very useful to parse this information for analysis
i was checking your website where advisiories are present and i could not
find any risk level alloted to the vulnerability
It is difficult to analyse them without that , I just wanted to know is
there any particular reason for this
Thank you and
Best regards
darshan

Did you miss section III (called Impact) that appears in every Advisory?

 Hi.
 Thanks for the reply
 I am really sorry It was my mistake for not checking properly
 After reading again I have realised that you specify the impact and
 workaround for FreeBSD releases and you provide links to their
 sources .Please correct me if I am wrong I am new to this field .

You are obviously new, but that's OK.  We all start out new.

First off, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a mailing list for general discussion
about FreeBSD.  The fact that I responded to you post in no way identifies
me as an expert that should be exclusively consulted for further
information.  As a result, I've added [EMAIL PROTECTED] back to the
CC.

The FreeBSD project maintains a truckload of mailing lists to facilitate
collaboration within the community:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-MAIL
Of particular interest to you might be this list:
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-security

Top-posting is also generally frowned apon.

 I also wanted to know what features to you consider when publishing the
 vulnerability

Information about how the security team operates is here:
http://www.freebsd.org/security/

If you have a number of questions, I expect you'll benefit from organizing
them all into a single email and sending them (interview-style) to the
FreeBSD security officer (listed on the previous page).

Hope this helps.
