It allows users to search by a variety of characteristics, including vulnerability type, severity and impact; software name and version number; and vendor name. NVD also can be used to research the vulnerability history of a product and view vulnerability statistics and trends.
NVD was developed by researchers in NIST's Computer Security Division with support from the Department of Homeland Security's National Cyber Security Division. For more information, go to http://nvd.nist.gov/ .
