Hallo Liste, was halten wir denn von folgenden Zeilen ? Ist das dummes Zeug ?
( http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/55/28118.html ) Linux, Open Source have 'more security problems than Windows' By Robin Miller, NewsForge.com Posted: 15/11/2002 at 08:37 GMT Linux, Open Source have 'more security problems than Windows' According to a report published November 12 by Aberdeen Group, "Security advisories for open source and Linux software accounted for 16 out of the 29 security advisories - about one of every two advisories - published for the first 10 months of 2002 by Cert (www.cert.org, Computer Emergency Response Team)." Aberdeen says Microsoft products have had no new virus or trojan horse advisories in the first 10 months of 2002, while Unix, Linux, and Open Source software went from one in 2001 to two in the first 10 months of 2002, that in the same 2002 time period "networking equipment" (operating system unspecified) had six advisories, and Mac OSX had four. In other words, all except Microsoft had increases in reported vulnerabilities this year. "Contrary to popular misperception," the report says, "Microsoft does not have the worst track record when it comes to security vulnerabilities. Also contrary to popular wisdom, Unix- and Linux-based systems are just as vulnerable to viruses, Trojan horses, and worms. Furthermore, Apple's products are now just as vulnerable, now that it is fielding an operating system with embedded Internet protocols and Unix utilities. Lastly, the incorporation of open source software in routers, Web server software, firewalls, databases, Internet chat software, and security software is turning most Internet-aware computing devices and applications into possible infectious carriers." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PUG - Penguin User Group Wiesbaden - http://www.pug.org
