>Seriously every vulnerability will have it's own cool name and a website now?

is your argument that awareness of this issue would have been better if there wasn't a cool name and website?



My argument is that raising awareness needs to be done in a tasteful manner, not spreading panic and using pop cloture references.

VIRTUALIZED ENVIRONMENT NEGLECTED OPERATIONS MANIPULATION VENOM seriously, kinda reminds me of:

Ward: Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.

Hill: And what does that mean to you?

Ward: It means someone really wanted our initials to spell out "SHIELD."

At least heartbleed and shellshock were kinda properly named, this one is a hell of a stretch.

Inb4 people start registering silly domains that can be used to spell out vulnerabilities.

CITRUS: Channel Insecure Transport Releases User Sessions

TBONE: Transmission Buffer Overflow Network Exploitation

BUTTER: Buffer Underrun Transactional Execution Relay

Let the parking wars begin!


They need to sound way scarier than that, though.

BONECRUSH: Buffer Overrun Neatly Exceeds Current Reusable User Storage Hindrances

FACENEEDLE: Foreign Actors Can Execute Nefarious Executables, Even During Lockdown... Exploit

HELLSCREAM: Hack Exploiting Lazy Loading Standard Core Runtime Executables And Modules


Quick, someone propose a .vln or .vuln gTLD!
