Adobe Reader, IE Top Vulnerability List

It seems that Adobe and Microsoft share the dubious honor of dominating the top 15 most observed vulnerabilities list. I’m sure both companies will be thrilled to know they made the list.

The most exploited vulnerabilities tend to be Adobe Reader and Internet Explorer, but a rising target for exploits is Java, according to a report to be released on Wednesday by M86 Security Labs. Of the 15 most exploited vulnerabilities observed by M86 Security Labs during the first half of this year, four involved Adobe Reader and five in Internet Explorer, the lab wrote in its latest security report for January through June 2010.
