Not sure if this forum is the appropriate place to ask this question, so please 
advise.

We have been requested by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, as a part of 
our mainframe compliance program (using NIST and DISA STIGs) , to use the 
national vulnerability database http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/search   to 
identify vulnerabilities which affect the zOS operating system running on the 
IBM mainframe.

Is the National Vulnerability Database the right place to look for zOS 
vulnerabilities in the first place?

We are primarily looking for vulnerabilities for zOS operating system, but 
would also be interested in searching for vulnerabilities in third party 
software packages from vendors such as CA Technology.

Any guidance and/or the appropriate keyword search(es) for the NVD which can be 
used to meet this objective would be appreciated.
