[$] Supplementing CVEs with !CVEs

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exploits(CVE) system is the main mechanism for tracking various securityflaws, using the omnipresent CVE number-even vulnerabilities with fancy names andweb siteshave CVE numbers. But the CVE system is not without its critics and, intruth, the incentives between the reporting side and those responsible forhandling the bugs have always been misaligned, which leads to abuse ofvarious kinds. There have been efforts tocombat some of those abuses along the way; a newly announced"!CVE" project is meant to track vulnerabilities "that are notacknowledged by vendors but still are serious security issues".
