FYI, CERT/CC reported 8064 software vulnerabilities in 2006, for a 35% increase over 2005. See http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/01/21/2006_vulns_tally/ The article further states, "The greatest factor in the skyrocketing number of vulnerabilities is that certain types of flaws in community and commercial Web applications have become much easier to find, said Art Manion, vulnerability team lead for the CERT Coordination Center. 'The best we can figure, most of the growth is due to fairly easy-to- discover vulnerabilities in Web applications," Manion said. "They are easy to find, easy to create, and easy to deploy.'"
