Chapter 11 Discovery and fixation process for software vulnerabilities: modeling and analysis incorporating learning functions
-
Asha Yadav
Abstract
This study proposes a comprehensive multiphase mathematical model for vulnerability detection and effective patch management. The model adapts the learning factor concept to model these processes distinctly. In Phase 1, vulnerability detection is modeled as a function of the remaining undetected vulnerabilities along with learning of detection, while in Phase 2, vulnerability fixation is modeled using a logistic learning function. The model’s flexibility is demonstrated through its alignment with various existing models such as Rescorla’s vulnerability discovery model and other vulnerability and patch-related models available in the literature. Real-life patch data from Linux kernel and Windows 10 validate the model, showing its predictive power and accuracy.
