New SANS/FBI Top 20 List
An anonymous reader submits "The SANS Institute (together with the FBI) published today an updated version of its list of
The Twenty Most Critical Internet Security Vulnerabilities.
As usual, part of the news is that not too much has changed. The list is split into 10 Unix and 10 Windows vulnerabilities. Leaders are BIND and IIS (last year it was RPC on the Unix side). But some issues (weak passwords) made it into both lists.
For last years version, see here. In addition to this list, and a lot of other stuff, the SANS institute is behind DShield and the Internet Storm Center."
