Sure. As has been pointed out elsewhere, the *nix vulnerability total
includes entries for all flavors of *nix, and dozens of linux
distributions. May are seen to be duplicates -- i.e. a specific
vulnerability will be listed and counted separately for Solaris, AIX,
*BSD, and all the various linux distributions even though it is the same
vulnerability and fixed by the same source patch. And the number of
critical vulnerabilities in *nix is still lower than for Win.
In addition, vulnerabilities in Firefox, Apache, PHP and other
cross-platform software is counted as *nix vulnerabilities but not a
Windows vulnerability. So, if Firefox has one vulnerability, it counts
as 10 vulnerabilities for *nix and and 0 for Windows. Kind of unfair,
don't you think?
