OSVDB Gets Major Facelift

The Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB) web site got a face lift recently. The OSVDB is the major repository for vulnerabilities in open source software.

The site was beefed with some of the following new features:

• Greater detail about the overall nature of a specific vulnerability


• A "Watch List" service that provides alerts for new vulnerabilities


• Consolidating external blogs by vulnerability


• New reporting metrics

The story was reporting on eWeek's Security Watch.
