Abstract

Computer security vulnerabilities badly compromise the system security. To profoundly understand the causes of known vulnerabilities and prevent them, this paper develops a new taxonomic character, and then integrates a privilege-escalating based vulnerability taxonomy with multidimensional quantitative attribute. This taxonomy greatly contributes to further researches of security risk assessment of computer system.
