    PART I Critical Vulnerabilities

    PART I Critical Vulnerabilities Part I for this issue has been compiled by Josh Bronson at TippingPoint, a division of HP, as a by-product of that company's continuous effort to ensure that its intrusion prevention products effectively block exploits using known vulnerabilities. TippingPoint's analysis is complemented by input from a council of security managers from twelve large organizations who confidentially share with SANS the specific actions they have taken to protect their systems. A detailed description of the process may be found at http://www.sans.org/newsletters/risk/#process

    Part II: Weekly Comprehensive List of Newly Discovered Vulnerabilities
    Week 44, 2011

    Part II -- Comprehensive List of Newly Discovered Vulnerabilities from Qualys (www.qualys.com) This list is compiled by Qualys ( www.qualys.com ) as part of that company's ongoing effort to ensure its vulnerability management web service tests for all known vulnerabilities that can be scanned. As of this week Qualys scans for 12729 unique vulnerabilities. For this special SANS community listing, Qualys also includes vulnerabilities that cannot be scanned remotely. ______________________________________________________________________
