Abstract

This paper introduces VuWaDB, which is a database for vulnerability workarounds. When faced with a newly discovered vulnerability, experts tend to use workarounds in order to mitigate the risks until a patch is issued by the vendor. Currently, the available vulnerability databases suffer from the lack of comprehensive workaround solutions. Furthermore, the presented workarounds are only limited to a few vulnerabilities but also poorly recorded in natural language sentences and plain text format. In order to construct VuWaDB, first, the related information was gathered from a number of well-known vulnerability databases and then extracted, analyzed, and labeled. In this regard, VuWaDB organizes the workarounds in six categories: configuration, modify code, redirect, remove, restrict access and, utility tool. Lastly, it was analyzed from the statistical point of view.
