\section{Differences between CVE and OWASP}
In this chapter we will give overview of differences between CVE and OWASP. For better redability, we will do this in the form of table.
\begin{table}[h] \label{cmp}
\begin{center}
\caption {Differences between CVE and OWASP}
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{|X|X|X|}
\hline \textbf{Criteria} & \textbf{CVE} & \textbf{OWASP} \\
\hline \textbf{Purpose}  & To give overview of software and it's version specific vulnerabilities  &  To general information about vulnerabilities by class and give developers example codes that contain given type of vulnerability and explain how to fix that type of vulnerability. \\ 
\hline \textbf{Naming} & Systematic naming of CVEs. CVE name itself does not say anything about vulnerability. Example: CVE-2008-3224. &  Lists vulnerability by name of it's type. Example: Integer overflow. \\
\hline \textbf{Multiplicity} & CVE Name is in role of primary key that uniquely identifies software and it's version that can be exploited trough this vulnerability, publish date, score (severity), etc.  & For one type of vulnerability there are many programs that are affected by it. \\
\hline \textbf{Sample code} & No & Yes \\
\hline \textbf{Offers solution} & No & Yes \\
\hline \textbf{Offers guidelines} & No & Yes \\
\hline \textbf{Statistics} & Histogram & Document of top ten vulnerabilities.\\
\hline \textbf{Descriptiveness} & Vulnerability is described in few sentences. Description does not explicitly teach how to exploit that vulnerability. & Vulnerability description gives detailed overview of given vulnerability and how it works. \\
\hline \textbf{Descriptiveness of vulnerability} & Vulnerability is described in few sentences. Description does not explicitly teach how to exploit that vulnerability. & Vulnerability description gives detailed overview of given vulnerability and how it works. \\

Gives me ugly result, but when you look at image it can be seen that table has plenty of room on page previous page.

[mas]

When you post the code also include the preamble so that others have an idea of packages you are using. Since it is missing, one can only guess at the page dimensions you are using.

By changing the dimensions/geometry of the page, you can get the table on the same page. I used

I am always said when i hear that schools are distributing templates that aren't even suited for the job. llncs is for special submissions to Springer.

Nevermind, you are using a center environment within a table environment. That is even listed in ltaboo. Don't.

The example above contains a second approach to tables. The layout is much more light-weight and open.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Perhaps the school wants people to learn how to work with a publisher's template for submitting scientific articles, and just chose Springer.

Rain, templates in general are just known to be often not perfect, sometimes even misleading, and specifically a publisher's template is made for matching their own style perfectly, not to be good in its own or to be modern and flexible.

As I like screenshots here's one of the Johannes' improved table, so readers can compare with the "classical" table above:
