Visible to the public Tutorial: The Bugs Framework (BF) "Hands-On"

ABSTRACT: Advancements of scientific foundation in cybersecurity rely on the availability of accurate, precise, and non-ambiguous definitions of software weaknesses (bugs) and descriptions of software vulnerabilities. The Bugs Framework (BF) organizes software weaknesses into distinct classes, such as buffer overflow (BOF), injection (INJ), faulty operation (FOP), and control of interaction frequency (CIF).

Visible to the public Toward Precise and Accurate Descriptions of Weaknesses

Abstract:

MITRE's Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) http://cwe.mitre.org/ is a list of several hundred classes of weakness that may be found in software. While it is a huge amount of progress over what was available a decade ago, there is still a lot of work to do. We propose some directions to significantly improve CWEs. These directions come from semantic templates, software fault patterns, and other work.
