Analysis of software vulnerability classification based on different technical parameters

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of software vulnerabilities based on different technical parameters. The taxonomy of vulnerabilities presented here offers an insight into their frequency; susceptibility; correlation with instances or events, exploits, and artifacts; and assessment of the successful countermeasures. Furthermore, this paper presents the current state-of-the-art in the domain of software threats and vulnerabilities. In addition, it highlights various methods for identification of different types of vulnerabilities. These methods have their own advantages, associated costs, and inherent risks. The current work would help analyze various threats that a system could face, and subsequently it could guide the security engineer to take quick and cost-effective countermeasures.
