Advisories and relative security

Parent article: Advisories and relative security

Just some short comments:

- Why is Outlook (and -Express) not listed? It's THE virus spreader software and
you could even see it as "part" of a virus - where would that SOBIG be without it?

- One should not compare a browser, SQL server, webserver and some small tools
with the Linux world. There are bugs listed of software that does SNMP, there's
even a programming language (PHP), DNS software and so on.

- Why is DNS (BIND), PHP and Apache only under Linux? It exists also for
Windows, and the description of the bugs don't state that it's a Linux-only problem.
Not very fair to count the same bug only for one system.

- Service Pack #3 for W2K contained about 1000 bugfixes, Service Pack #4
contains about 1700 bugfixes.

have fun. zmi.
