17
Q

which value of the Access Complexity (AC) metric of the CVSS vector means the vulnerability does not require special conditions?

18
Q

which value of the availability (A) metric of the CVSS vector means the system is completely shut down?

19
Q

which CVSS metric describes the disruption that might occur if the vulnerability is exploited?

A

the availability (A) metric

20
Q

what should you do for the false positives in a vulnerability scanning report once you have verified that they are indeed false?

A

configure exceptions for the false positives in the vulnerability scanner

21
Q

what is meant by the term false negative in a vulnerability scan?

A

when the vulnerability scan indicated no vulnerabilities existed when, in fact, one was present

22
Q

which value of the access vector (AV) metric of the CVSS vector indicates the attacker must be on the local network?

23
Q

which value of the integrity (I) metric of the CVSS vector means there is no integrity impact?

26
Q

which value of the authentication (Au) metric of the CVSS vector means the attacker would need to get through two or more authentication mechanisms?

27
Q

which value of the authentication (Au) metric of the CVSS vector means the attacker would need to get through one authentication mechanism?

28
Q

what are the three possible values of the Access Complexity (AC) metric of the CVSS vector, and what do they stand for?

A

H - High

30
Q

which value of the Availability (A) metric of the CVSS vector means there is no availability impact?

31
Q

which value of the Access Complexity (AC) metric of the CVSS vector means the vulnerability requires somewhat special conditions?

32
Q

which value of the Access Complexity (AC) metric of the CVSS vector means the vulnerability requires special conditions that are hard to find?

33
Q

what should you do if you expect that there are false positives in a vulnerability scanning report?

A

verify the false positives to ensure that you can eliminate them from the report
