A metric for software vulnerabilities classication

نویسنده

  • Gabriele Modena
چکیده

Vulnerability discovery and exploits detection are two wide areas of study in software engineering. This preliminary work tries to combine existing methods with machine learning techniques to define a metric classification of vulnerable computer programs. First a feature set has been defined and later two models have been tested against real world vulnerabilities. A relation between the classifier choice and the features has also been outlined.

A Vulnerability Metric for the Design Phase of Object Oriented Software

Unlike quality, quantitative estimation of security at design phase of object oriented software is largely missing. The work examines that coupling is one of the object oriented design characteristic responsible for propagation of vulnerabilities in the design of software. A metric is proposed to determine whether the design of one version of a software system is more vulnerable than another wi...

Security Metrics for Software System

Security metrics for software systems provide quantitative measurement for the degree of trustworthiness for software systems. This paper proposes a new approach to define software security metrics based on vulnerabilities included in the software systems and their impacts on software quality. We use the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE), an industry standard for vulnerability and expo...

Predicting Unknown Vulnerabilities using Software Metrics and Maturity Models

We face an increasing reliance on software-based services, applications, platforms, and infrastructures to accomplish daily activities. It is possible to introduce vulnerabilities during any software life cycle and these vulnerabilities could lead to security attacks. It is known that as the software complexity increases, discovering a new security vulnerability introduced by subsequent updates...

Exploring the Relationship Between Architecture Coupling and Software Vulnerabilities

Employing software metrics, such as size and complexity, for predicting defects has been given a lot of attention over the years and proven very useful. However, the few studies looking at software architecture and vulnerabilities are limited in scope and findings. We explore the relationship between software vulnerabilities and component metrics (like code churn and cyclomatic complexity), as ...
