Universal access to the source code does not mean it is more secure. Meaningful comparisons between operating systems and related applications can be made by looking at specific vulnerabilities, or those deemed most serious. An objective measure is the standard developed by CERT, which releases advisories for serious vulnerabilities threatening the Internet’s infrastructure or large numbers of Internet users. As stated earlier, vulnerabilities for which CERT issues advisories should be patched immediately. In an analysis of CERT data, Aberdeen Group found that security advisories for Linux and other Open Source software accounted for one-half of all CERT advisories (16 out of 29) issued in the first 10 months of 2002. The Aberdeen Group concluded that “Open Source software, commonly used in many versions of Linux, UNIX, and network routing equipment, is now the major source of elevated security vulnerabilities for IT buyers.”
Below is an updated chart that shows CERT Bulletins for Jan03 – Sept03.
