It's time for another security report. You know, those reports that tally vulnerabilities, and then plot or graph them in such a way that their benefactors or clients come out most favourably. Ok, that might be a bit cynical, but fact remains that there is usually something wrong with such reports. The one that's making its rounds across the internet today is certainly one of them. According to IBM, AIX is the most secure operating system, and Mac OS X the least secure. Not only is the report rather slim on details when it comes to operating system vulnerabilities, it seems like most websites reporting on this story have misunderstood what it was about.

The blinking lights on the front told them!
That said, OS X's security does have a lot of potential holes. You've got legacy holes from Carbon, everything from the FreeBSD/NetBSD parts that make up the BSD subsystem, then its own special ObjC/Mach vulnerabilities.
