<p class="MsoNormal">As VIM subscribers probably know, the National Vulnerability Database<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(NVD) is having a temporary outage. At http://nvd.nist.gov/, NIST<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">says "We are working to restore service as quickly as possible."<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Many people rely on NVD feeds to learn about newly-updated CVEs. The<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">CVEs to a limited set of CVE-compatible users, often several times a<o:p></o:p></p>
