<strong>Secunia</strong> <strong>Report</strong>: <strong>Vulnerability</strong> <strong>Update</strong> <strong>for</strong>
<strong>May</strong>-<strong>July</strong> <strong>2015</strong> <strong>out</strong> <strong>now</strong> - <strong>comments</strong> <strong>from</strong>
<strong>Research</strong> on Stagefright, Avant and yearly
trends
<strong>Secunia</strong>, a leading provider of IT security solutions that enable management and control of
vulnerability threats, today published a <strong>Vulnerability</strong> <strong>Update</strong> with the Top 20 vulnerable
products <strong>for</strong> <strong>May</strong>, June and <strong>July</strong>.
Copenhagen, Denmark, September 09, <strong>2015</strong> /PressReleasePing/ -<strong>Secunia</strong>, a leading
provider of IT security solutions that enable management and control of vulnerability threats
, today published a <strong>Vulnerability</strong> <strong>Update</strong> with the Top 20 vulnerable products <strong>for</strong> <strong>May</strong>, June
and <strong>July</strong>. The product with the most vulnerabilities over the three month period was the Avant
browser, and once again, IBM comes in as the vendor with the largest number of vulnerable
products.
It is the fourth time <strong>Secunia</strong> has issued a <strong>Vulnerability</strong> <strong>Update</strong>. The recurring update provides
a monthly Top 20 of products with the most vulnerabilities recorded over a three month
period, along with brief <strong>comments</strong> <strong>from</strong> <strong>Secunia</strong> <strong>Research</strong>. The first edition was published in
June 2014.
In this latest edition, <strong>Secunia</strong> <strong>Research</strong> provides commentary on vulnerability issues tied to
the Avant browser, Stagefright Android media player, and the troubling escalation in the
number of vulnerable products to date between January – <strong>July</strong> of this year. The <strong>Vulnerability</strong>
<strong>Update</strong> also lists the number of new vulnerabilities in the Top 20 over the 3 month period:
2,211; the vendor with most vulnerable products in the 3 month period: IBM, and the product
with the most vulnerabilities: Avant Browser.
As you look through the Top 20 lists of vulnerable products published in the reports, it is clear
that it is completely erratic which product names make it onto the lists <strong>from</strong> month to month.
“For as long as <strong>Secunia</strong> has been in business, we have tried to get exactly that message

across to IT security professionals across industries: you cannot predict what products will be
making your infrastructure vulnerable next month, based on what made it vulnerable this
month. And you certainly shouldn’t assume that, by patching the 10 high-profile software
names that spring to mind when you think ab<strong>out</strong> what is in your infrastructure, you are all set
and secure. Keeping track of what makes your environment vulnerable is an ongoing and
complex task, that requires a combination of vulnerability intelligence and visibility of
applications, devices and business critical data in your systems,” said Kasper Lindgaard,
<strong>Secunia</strong> Director of <strong>Research</strong> and Security, in a comment to the latest <strong>Vulnerability</strong> <strong>Update</strong>.
