NAME: Snort reuses the same name for all references. e.g:
<Classification origin="cve">
<name>SNMP public access udp</name>
<url>http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2002-0013</url>
</Classification>
<Classification origin="cve">
<name>SNMP public access udp</name>
<url>http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2002-0012</url>
</Classification>
<Classification origin="cve">
<name>SNMP public access udp</name>
<url>http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-1999-0517</url>
</Classification>
<Classification origin="vendor-specific">
<name>SNMP public access udp</name>
<url>http://www.snort.org/snort-db/sid.html?sid=1411</url>
</Classification>
I tend to think we should discourage that, at least for the 2 first
lines, because the origin+name should be a primary key for the
classification information.
*I propose to replace:*
The aggregate classes that make up Classification are:
name
Exactly one. STRING. The name of the alert, from one of the
origins listed below.
url
Exactly one. STRING. A URL at which the manager (or the human
operator of the manager) can find additional information about the
alert. The document pointed to by the URL may include an in-depth
description of the attack, appropriate countermeasures, or other
information deemed relevant by the vendor.
