Login to the Customer portal - mySAINT - at http://www.saintcorporation.com/
Click on Vulnerabilities link under Vulns and Exploits section.
CVEs are organized by calendar year. Scroll alphabetically down to CVE.
Type-Specific Capability Questions
Finding Tasks Using CVE Names <CR_A.2.1>
Give detailed examples and explanations of how a user can locate tasks in the tool by looking for their associated CVE name (required):
The SAINT/CVE cross-reference list includes a column which maps the CVE name to the associated SAINT vulnerability check ID. The explanation is included at the top of the cross-reference list.
For example, a user who searches the table for CVE-1999-0002 will discover that this vulnerability is detected by the rpc_mountd check.
Finding CVE Names Using Elements in Reports <CR_A.2.2>
Give detailed examples and explanations of how, for reports that identify individual security elements, the tool allows the user to determine the associated CVE names for the individual security elements in the report (required):
The CVE name is listed beside every reported vulnerability.
In SAINTbox's basic HTML reporting, each vulnerability appears beside a dot like this:
* [TOP-20] host1 - possible vulnerability in mountd (CVE-1999-0002)
In reports generated by SAINTwriter, there is a column in the table in the Technical Overview report for CVE numbers, and a CVE line under each vulnerability in the Technical Details report.
Getting a List of CVE Names Associated with Tasks <CR_A.2.4>
Give detailed examples and explanations of how a user can obtain a listing of all of the CVE names that are associated with the tool’s tasks (recommended):
On the custom scan level set-up screen, every vulnerability check is hyperlinked to an information page which includes a list of related CVE entries.
Selecting Tasks Using Individual CVE Names <CR_A.2.6>
Describe the steps that a user would follow to browse, select, and deselect a set of tasks for the tool by using individual CVE names (recommended):
For each CVE name, the user would check the SAINT/CVE cross-reference list for the associated SAINTbox checks. The user would then create a custom scan level and select each of the associated SAINTbox checks.
Electronic Document Format Info <CR_B.3.1>
Provide details about the different electronic document formats that you provide and describe how they can be searched for specific CVE-related text (required):
We provide both HTML and PDF documentation, and scan output is available as HTML, text, CSV, PDF, or XML. Any of these formats can be searched using a browser, reader or editor.
Electronic Document Listing of CVE Names <CR_B.3.2>
If one of the capability’s standard electronic documents only lists security elements by their short names or titles provide example documents that demonstrate how the associated CVE names are listed for each individual security element (required):
SAINTbox internally identifies vulnerabilities by their vulnerability check IDs.
These IDs are cross-referenced with CVE names in the SAINT/CVE cross-reference table: http://www.saintcorporation.com/resources/documentation/help/saint8_help/saint_help.html
See Glossary of Terms.
Electronic Document Element to CVE Name Mapping <CR_B.3.3>
Provide example documents that demonstrate the mapping from the capability’s individual elements to the respective CVE name(s) (recommended):
http://www.saintcorporation.com/cgi-bin/doc.pl?document=cve_2014
Finding Elements Using CVE Names Through the GUI <CR_B.4.1>
Give detailed examples and explanations of how the GUI provides a "find" or "search" function for the user to identify your capability’s elements by looking for their associated CVE name(s) (required):
A user can find SAINTbox's vulnerability categories by CVE name by:
- Login to the Customer portal - mySAINT - at https://my.saintcorporation.com/cgi-bin/secure/customer/logon.pl
- Click on Vulnerabilities link under Vulns and Exploits section
CVEs are organized by calendar year and the browser's search functions.
The browser will return a line containing the CVE name, description, SAINT category, and SAINT vulnerability check ID.
GUI Element to CVE Name Mapping <CR_B.4.2>
Briefly describe how the associated CVE names are listed for the individual security elements or discuss how the user can use the mapping between CVE entries and the capability’s elements, also describe the format of the mapping (required):
There are three ways that CVE names are listed for security elements: in report output, in vulnerability tutorials, and in the SAINT/CVE cross-reference. The report output lists vulnerabilities in either tabular or paragraph format. The vulnerability tutorials discuss vulnerabilities in paragraphs, with related CVE names listed above paragraphs. The cross-reference page is in tabular format.
GUI Export Electronic Document Format Info <CR_B.4.3>
Provide details about the different electronic document formats that you provide for exporting or accessing CVE-related data and describe how they can be searched for specific CVE-related text (recommended):
SAINT reporting provides output in HTML, text, CSV, PDF or XML format, with CVE names as one of the fields in the tables. Each of these formats can be searched using a browser or text editor. The CSV and XML formats can be exported to a database that also can be used for searching.
Statement of Compatibility <CR_2.7>
Have an authorized individual sign and date the following Compatibility Statement (required):
"As an authorized representative of my organization I agree that we will abide by all of the mandatory CVE Compatibility Requirements as well as all of the additional mandatory CVE Compatibility Requirements that are appropriate for our specific type of capability."

Statement on False-Positives and False-Negatives <CR_A.2.8 and/or CR_A.3.5>
FOR TOOLS ONLY - Have an authorized individual sign and date the following statement about your tools efficiency in identification of security elements (required):
"As an authorized representative of my organization and to the best of my knowledge, normally when our capability reports a specific security element, it is generally correct and normally when an event occurs that is related to a specific security element our capability generally reports it."
