Fwd: Missing CVE IDs
I definitely believe this is an excersize worth doing. I have a
customers that classify and track everything by CVE/BID/OSVDB etc. I
for one also provide active links in custom reports to other databases
of information that use the numbers. i.e directly to ICAT, security
focus and OSVDB.

Any time links to more information about vulnerabilities can be added
to the nessus information, I would consider it a plus. Also helps
with mitigation and documenting false posities on our networks.

Just for the record, every(*) new Nessus plugin is indexed on the
Security Focus database (BID). This practice has been going on for
the last two years.

At the moment, any other reference than a BID is considered as an extra.
