Colleagues,

This begins the voting period for ballot SC39v3: Definition of Critical Vulnerability.

The following motion has been proposed by Neil Dunbar of TrustCor and endorsed by Ben Wilson (Mozilla) and Corey Bonnell (DigiCert).

-- MOTION BEGINS --

This ballot modifies the “Network and Certificate System Security Requirements” based on Version 1.5.

Under the section “Definitions”:

Remove the current definition:

Critical Vulnerability: A system vulnerability that has a CVSS score of 7.0 or higher according to the NVD or an equivalent to such CVSS rating (see http://nvd.nist.gov/home.cfm<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/nvd.nist.gov/home.cfm__;!!FJ-Y8qCqXTj2!O-WfKf2n6L0z5KCTGJUlEEGCaOpOIHkLlxJ8GI7Cij86SVwjf4dUPBHDRfkor1co4t8$>), or as otherwise designated as a Critical Vulnerability by the CA or the CA/Browser Forum.

Insert a new definition:

Critical Vulnerability: A system vulnerability that has a CVSS v2.0 score of 7.0 or higher according to the NVD or an equivalent to such CVSS rating (see https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln-metrics/cvss<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/nvd.nist.gov/vuln-metrics/cvss__;!!FJ-Y8qCqXTj2!O-WfKf2n6L0z5KCTGJUlEEGCaOpOIHkLlxJ8GI7Cij86SVwjf4dUPBHDRfkos7XWOlY$>), or as otherwise designated as a Critical Vulnerability by the CA or the CA/Browser Forum.
