Here's a bibliography entry taken from the National Institute of Standards and Technoloyy (NIST) National Vulnerability Database.

Code: Select all

@misc{cve-2008-1368,
  key = 	 {CVE-2008-1368},
  title = 	 {{CRLF injection vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 and 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary FTP commands via an ftp:// URL that contains a URL-encoded CRLF (\%0D\%0A) before the FTP command, which causes the commands to be inserted into an authenticated FTP connection established earlier in the same browser session, as demonstrated using a DELE command, a variant or possibly a regression of CVE-2004-1166. }},
  howpublished = {National Vulnerability Database},
  institution  = {NIST},
  day =       17,
  month =     {March},
  year = 	 2008,
  note = 	 {[online] \url{http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-1368}},
  url = {http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-1368}
}

It would of course be cited using~\cite{cve-2008-1368}.

Using \url as shown (which comes from the url package), long URLs break at appropriate places, and if you use the hyperref package, e.g.:

\usepackage[colorlinks=true,linkcolor=blue,citecolor=blue,urlcolor=blue]{hyperref}

and generate the file using pdflatex, the URLs are rendered as blue working links.
