US government funding for the world's CVE program " the centralized Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures database of product security flaws " ends Wednesday. The 25-year-old CVE program plays a huge role in vulnerability management. It is responsible overseeing the assignment and organizing of unique CVE ID numbers, such as CVE-2014-0160 and CVE-2017-5754, for specific vulnerabilities, in this case OpenSSL's Heartbleed and Intel's Meltdown, so that when referring to particular flaws and patches, everyone is agreed on exactly what we're all talking about. It is used by companies big and small, developers, researchers, the public sector, and more as the primary system for identifying and squashing bugs. When multiple people find the same hole, CVEs are useful for ensuring everyone is working toward that one specific issue.
