A new vulnerability reporting framework was announced this week to standardize security vulnerability reporting. "The Common Vulnerability Reporting Framework (CVRF) is an XML-based language that will enable different stakeholders across different organizations to share critical security-related information in a single format, speeding up information exchange and digestion." [1]

A 12-page whitepaper is available on this new standard that can be freely downloaded here and a list of FAQ is available here.

Is the CVRF a competing standard to MITRE's MAEC?
Nathan,

CVRF is a vulnerability reporting framework while MAEC is about reporting malware attributes.

"Malware Attribute Enumeration and Characterization (MAEC™) is a standardized language for encoding and communicating high-fidelity information about malware based upon attributes such as behaviors, artifacts, and attack patterns." http://maec.mitre.org/about/index.html
