Standards are common names used by security researchers to refer to specific security issues. The most common standards are: CVE – The MITRE CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) project (http://cve.mitre.org/about/) defines standard names for security issues. For more information about the CVE project, please see the MITRE CVE Questions section of this FAQ. BID – The BugTraq ID provides a reference to public vulnerability information.
