Unix vulnerabilitiesRanked by how likely they are to be used.
Unix is made by Digital. We track 17 published vulnerabilities in it, across 14 versions. None of them is on the list of flaws known to be exploited today. If you run Unix, keep it on a version the vendor still supports.
We keep watching the known-exploited list.
Which Unix vulnerabilities are being exploited?
This is the list that matters most: flaws criminals are using now.

Which Unix flaws are most likely to be used?
Ranked by the latest exploit-likelihood forecast: the chance each flaw is used in an attack in the next 30 days. A high severity score on its own doesn't tell you that. Flaws shared by many other makers' products are left out.
- 71%CVE-1999-0513Medium

- 2.2%CVE-1999-0687High
The ToolTalk ttsession daemon uses weak RPC authentication, which allows a remote attacker to execute commands.
- 1.8%CVE-2000-0314Medium

- 1.8%CVE-2000-0315Medium
traceroute in NetBSD 1.3.3 and Linux systems allows local unprivileged users to modify the source address of the packets, which could be used in spoofing attacks.
- 1.3%CVE-2000-0845Medium

- 0.6%
dxchpwd in Digital Unix (OSF/1) 3.x allows local users to modify arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the dxchpwd.log file.
