[RESEARCH] Patch delivery delay

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello all,

I am currently analyzing the delay between vulnerability disclosure (CVE release) and the release of a corresponding patch.

Firstly, i noticed that some vulnerabilities are patched before the CVE was assigned. How is that possible? Was the vulnerability "accitendally" fixed? (Example: According to NVD CVE-2013-1943 was fixed on 2011-05-22)

Second, does someone know why some vulnerabilities get a fix on CVE release day while some only recieve a fix after weeks or even month? (Maximum delay I observed is 183 days)

Regards,
Stefan
