Abstract: A set of errors known to have led to security breaches in computer systems was analyzed. The analysis led to a categorization of these errors. After examining several proposed schemes for the categorization of software errors a new scheme was developed and used. This scheme classifies errors by their cause, the nature of their impact, and the type of change, or fix, made to remove the error. The errors considered in this work are found in a database maintained by the COAST laboratory. The... (Update)
