Bugtraq is an electronic mailing list dedicated to issues about computer security. On-topic issues are new discussions about vulnerabilities, vendor security-related announcements, methods of exploitation, and how to fix them. It is a high-volume mailing list, and almost all new vulnerabilities are discussed there. This forum provides a vehicle for software and system manufacturers to communicate in a targeted fashion with their installed base to inform them of new vulnerabilities, so they can be rapidly addressed. From the perspective of the enterprise, it also provides a consolidated view of vulnerabilities, eliminating the need to try to track down announcements from individual vendors; as well as providing a forum to seek information from peers.
