Open source is growing concern. Most applications are corrected in a day but a dangerous minority takes much longer
.
number of software vulnerabilities reached the highest point in 2014, the overwhelming majority of which are “patches” available on the day the issue was released, said the security firm Secunia on your study Annual.
The figures, taken from the company’s Personal Software Inspector tool (PSI), reveal something disturbing: the correction (“patch”) estibver not available on the same day, is unlikely to be available for some time – or possibly ever -., forcing organizations to obtain alternatives and complicated fixes
As for vendors using open source libraries, many take weeks or months to correct the small but growing number of failures serious being discovered in this class of software, a lazy approach that looks increasingly unrealistic insecurity in the software.
The Secunia reported a total of 15,435 software vulnerabilities last year, a number which increased sharply since 2012, when it stood at around 10,000.
In 2014, the vulnerabilities were found in 3,870 applications from 500 suppliers, noting the complexity of corrections workload being imposed organizations.
Chrome, Google, and Solaris, Oracle, were the products with more vulnerabilities detected.
