ISS: Already More Vulnerabilities in 2006 Than 2005

Frank Washkuch Jr. writes on SC Magazine Online:

Vulnerabilities tallied during the first nine months of this year have surpassed the total counted for all of 2005, according to an alert from Internet Security Systems' (ISS) X-Force Labs.

Researchers discovered the 5,296th flaw of this year just after 8 a.m. on Sept. 25 - the same number found during all of last year.

However, only 0.40 percent of the total number of flaws was determined to be "critical," meaning they could be exploited to form an automated worm.
