"3 out of 2 people can't figure out statistics", the saying goes. In this light, |
|
we'd like to present Security Focus's summary of vulnerabilities. Read |
|
the disclaimers and feel free to dispute the results, but you have to |
|
admit it makes OpenBSD look good compared to other widely used OSes. |
|
We think the most important chart is the top one, total vulnerabilities. |
|
The upward trend is disturbing; it means the industry still doesn't |
|
"get it", and the users who trade off security for feature |
|
creep are delivering the wrong message. |
