I dropped Elias an e-mail asking if ports were included, and his response is below. But after looking at statistcics for this year (2000), I saw FreeBSD had 6, so far this year, they have been mainly ports advisories, so I assume Elias's answer is a yes. So far so good for FreeBSD and security. :) The page is at: http://www.securityfocus.com/frames/?vdb=vdb&content=/vdb/stats.html -- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Omachonu Ogali oogali@intranova.net | | Intranova Networking Group http://tribune.intranova.net | | PGP Key ID: 0xBFE60839 | | PGP Fingerprint: C8 51 14 FD 2A 87 53 D1 E3 AA 12 12 01 93 BD 34 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 15 May 2000 10:27:59 -0700 From: aleph1@securityfocus.com To: Omachonu Ogali Subject: Re: Vulnerability Database * Omachonu Ogali (oogali@intranova.net) [000515 16:20]: > In these statistics, is SecurityFocus counting the base FreeBSD 3.4 system > or the advisories released for the FreeBSD 3.4 ports?
