Welcome to the new LWN.net Security Page

Our first site code upgrade in nearly four years introduces an integrated security alert and vulnerability database. Our archive of security alerts dating back to July, 2001 now lives in a PostgreSQL relational database. Vulnerabilities and alerts are actually linked to each other. Recent alerts and vulnerabilities use Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) numbers to uniquely identify each vulnerability.

Today you can browse alerts and vulnerabilities using the links at the top of each page. When viewing an alert, you can view the corresponding vulnerability description with a mouse click.

In the future expect, and please continue to suggest, ways for us to better provide you with the security information you seek.
