A new report shows that the number of reported vulnerabilities in major commercial software products is accelerating. Apple s products now have more vulnerabilities than those of any other major vendor. Third-party applications now account for the vast majority of flaws on most computers. The report, by security firm Secunia, covers the first half of 2010 and shows that while Apple has the highest number of vulnerabilities in its products, Microsoft, Adobe, Mozilla and Oracle are right in the mix, as well. However, vulnerability counts are not seen as an entirely accurate measurement of product security.
