How reliable are the advisories of vendors regarding the vulnerabilities of their own systems?

Expert Solution

Answer)
The vulnerabilities of their own systems of the vendors are to be disclosed in the vulnerability disclosure and the security issues and flaws are to be reported by the vendors and advisories. But there are certain issues regarding the vendors and the advisories of vendors when the vulnerabilities come about their own systems. The advisories and vendors prefer to keep the issues and vulnerabilities a secret for a certain period of time till they have a patch which is ready to fix the problems for the users. But the problem is that it is required that the disclosure should be made public as soon as possible and should not be withheld from the public. Thus the advisories of vendors about the vulnerabilities of their systems are not very reliable as many times, the systems are having more vulnerabilities than that they actually claim in having.
