"Many of the holes are very serious, allowing intruders privileged access into an organisation's information system and giving them the ability to cause critical damage - such as copying, changing and deleting files, and crashing the network. Most of the holes apply to all versions (3.5, 3.51 and 4) of the popular operating system. "Shake Communications, an information and internet security firm, has compiled the statistics as part of an ongoing study and compilation of vulnerabilities in popular hardware, operating systems, applications and programming languages.
