to reflect new CVE versions and describe your approach to keeping reasonably
current with CVE versions when mapping them to your repository (recommended):
Once a new CVE version is released we intend to have added new CAN and
CVE numbers and remove old CAN entires within 10 working days. In addition
as new vulnerabilities are identified daily we add appropriate CAN numbers
daily.
6) Map Currency Update Time <CR_5.3>
Describe how and where you explain to your customers
the timeframe they should expect an update of your capability's mappings
to reflect a newly released CVE version (recommended):
Our customers are emailed when we have confirmed our compliance to a new
CVE version. In addition, the Help>CVE menu of the website will indicate
that the new version is being used.
Documentation Questions
7) CVE and Compatibility Documentation<CR_4.1>

where your documentation describes the specific details of how your
customers can use CVE names to find the individual security elements
within your capability's repository (required):
Within the Help>CVE section of the website details are provided on how
customers can search using CVE/CAN identifiers. Each vulnerability has
a CVE/CAN identifier if appropriate. In addition the database can be searched
using CVE/CAN identifiers in the Database>Search>CVE menu.
9) Documentation of Finding CVE
Names Using Elements <CR_4.3>
Provide a copy, or directions to its location, of
where your documentation describes the process a user would follow to
find the CVE names associated with individual security elements within

has CVE/CAN identifier if appropriate.
10) Documentation Indexing of
CVE-Related Material <CR_4.4>

Candidate Support Questions
11) Candidates Versus Entries Indication
<CR_6.1>
If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain
how you indicate that candidates are not accepted CVE entries (required):
The CAN- prefix is used for all candidates to differentiate them from
CVE entries which have the CVE- prefix.
12) Candidates Versus Entries Explanation
<CR_6.2>
If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain
where and how the difference between candidates and entries is explained
to your customers (recommended):
The CVE help file explains the difference between CVE and CAN entries.
The explanation is based upon "The CVE Naming Process."
13) Candidate to Entry Promotion <CR_6.3>
If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain
your policy for changing candidates into entries within your capability
and describe where and how this is communicated to your customers (recommended):
If a CAN entry becomes a CVE entry then the entry is subsequently changed.
Customers can infer the change by view the vulnerability entry.
14) Candidate and Entry Search
Support <CR_6.4>
If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain
where and how a customer can find the explanation of your search function's
ability to look for candidates and entries by using just the YYYY-NNNN
portion of the CVE names (recommended):
The database>search funtionality also a customer to search our vulnerability
database. To search for CAN/CVE entries the CVE search type must be selected.
To search for CVE entries the criteria must be in the format CVE-YYYY-NNNN,
and to search for candidates the search criteria must be CAN-YYYY-NNNN.
15) Search Support for Promoted Candidates
<CR_6.5>
If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain
where and how a customer can find the explanation of your search function's
support for retrieving the CVE entry for a candidate that is no longer
a candidate (recommended):
If a customer searches for a CVE candidate entry eg CAN-YYYY-NNNN and
the entry has been promoted to a CVE then no search result will be returned.
The customer then must search in the format CVE-YYYY-NNNN in order to
find the entry.
16) Candidate Mapping Currency
Indication <CR_6.6>
If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain
where and how you tell your users how up-to-date your candidate information
is (recommended):
Candidate entries are updated on a daily basis and this is explained in
the CVE>Help section. The time and date a candidate number is updated
is not provided to customers.
Type-Specific Capability Questions
Online Capability Questions
26) Finding Online Capability Tasks
Using CVE Names <CR_A.4.1>
Give detailed examples and explanations of how a
"find" or "search" function is available to the
user to locate tasks in the online capability by looking for their associated
CVE name or through an online mapping that links each element of the
capability with its associated CVE name(s) (required):
For each vulnerability associated to external sources such as CVE ID,
Buqtraq ID, and Cert ID, Nessus ID, advisories provided. Additionally,
using the Database>Search>CVE specific CVE names can be searched for.
