RE: Method to Request CVE IDs from MITRE Changing Soon

["Manley, Meghan E." <mmanley@mitre.org>]

Kent,

 

Thank you, and we fully agree.  A message communicating the upcoming change was sent to the CNA POCs yesterday shortly after 6:00 ET.  We sent it directly to the CNA POCs, rather than the cve-CNA-list, to avoid confusion, since the cve-CNA-list includes candidate organizations that are not yet fully integrated into the program.  The candidate CNAs will learn about the form as we onboard them.

 

We also intend to discuss this with Board members at the meeting tomorrow.

 

The content of the message sent to the CNA POCs is below my signature block.

 

Thanks again,

Meghan E. Manley

CNAs,

 

The method to request blocks of CVE IDs from MITRE will change on

August 29, 2016. In the new method, CNAs will complete and submit a

short, simple web form to request CVE ID blocks from MITRE. The

previous practice of requesting blocks via cve-assign@mitre.org

Quick question… While I think this is a great step towards better automation, has this new request process been communicated to the CNAs?  I am on the cve-cna-list and I don’t remember seeing this mentioned.  I have been traveling way too much but I do try to keep up…

 

If I am correct, I’d recommend we not use CVE Announce list for communicating items that, while not directly, have a potential indirect effect on CNAs. I understand this is targeted towards the general community but I would expect we should be letting the front line know so if asked or redirects are needed, they would know the correct way to request a specific CVE directly from MITRE.

 

FWIW.

Welcome to the latest issue of the CVE-Announce e-newsletter. This email newsletter is designed to bring recent news about Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE), such as new compatible products, new website features, CVE in the news, etc. right to your email box. CVE is the standard for cyber security vulnerability names. The CVE Board provides oversight and input into CVE’s strategic direction, ensuring CVE meets the vulnerability identification needs of the technology community. CVE Numbering Authorities (CNAs) are major OS vendors, security researchers, and research organizations that assign CVE Identifiers (IDs) to newly discovered issues without directly involving MITRE in the details of the specific vulnerabilities, and include the CVE IDs in the first public disclosure of the vulnerabilities. Details on subscribing (and unsubscribing) to the email newsletter are at the end. Please feel free to pass this newsletter on to interested colleagues.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Method to Request CVE IDs from MITRE Changing Soon

 

The method to request CVE IDs from MITRE will change on August 29, 2016. Using the new method, CVE ID requestors will complete a “CVE Request” web form when requesting a CVE ID from MITRE. The previous practice of submitting requests via email will be discontinued.

 

The new web form will make it easier for requestors to know what information to include in their initial request, and will enhance MITRE's ability to respond to those requests in a timely manner. User instructions will be available on the website and on the form itself. Upon completion of the form, the requestor will receive a confirmation message that the request was received and a reference number.

 

Please send any comments or concerns to cve@mitre.org.
