Abstract

Given the large focus on software vulnerabilities in the current market place, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 22/WG 23 has developed a Technical Report (TR) on Vulnerabilities [1]. This TR contains vulnerabilities that may be applicable to a programming language or application. This article provides a synopsis of these vulnerabilities with respect to the Ada programming language [2].
