Morning jeremy, I think that it's just due to the fact that windows is closed source and linux is open. Just think if the public had access to windows source code how many bugs would leak. > 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. > > Jeremy C.
