Researchers of the Comparitech team have dug deep into the “CVE Details” database, analyzing data from 1999 to 2019. The source contains over 64,000 logged flaws for 50 vendors and 73,000 across 50 products. So, which vendor and which product top the lists, and what does this mean exactly for their security?

Counting from 1999 to 2019, Microsoft sits at the top with 6,700 vulnerabilities, Oracle is second with 5,500, and IBM is third with 4,600. Google, Apple, and Cisco follow closely behind, while the rest of the list mostly concerns Linux and open-source projects in general.

Debian had a spike in vulnerability reports in 2018, logging a whopping 1,200, and this also happens to be the record-breaking year in general, recording a total increase of 19.3% compared to 2017.

As for the products with the most distinct vulnerabilities, Debian Linux comes first, Android second, and the Linux kernel third.
So, does this mean that Debian Linux is extremely insecure and vulnerable to a wide range of exploitation scope? The answer is “not necessarily.”

On the other side, open-source projects enjoy big help from user reports, who are generally more tech-savvy. Thus, the “free software” userbase is more prone to fiddling with things, more capable of discovering flaws, and in full conscience on the importance of reporting them.
