research counting vulnerabilities per operating system? (more vulnerabilities in 2002?)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dr. Dobb's Journal for February 2004 has an article called "Rethinking
Software Security" that says "Linux had more vulnerabilities reported and
security patches issued in 2002 than Windows".

The same article mentions CERT and www.SecurityFocus.com as best
resources.

I know I read some articles talking about which operating systems have
most issues. Can anyone provide some links?

I also started with making a CERT chart for 2002 so I can quickly count
them myself. Does anyone know if that is already done?

(I am using the webpages at
http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/bypublic?open&start=510.)

Building a chart based on securityfocus.com postings would be a lot
harder.

Just because ten vendors provide fixes or report vulnerabilities in same
software, that is only one single issue.
