12 most vulnerable popular applications

Bit9, a vendor of application and device control technology has reported on the 12 most vulnerable versions of software commonly found on PCs. If you use any of the software in this list, you should check the version numbers and download updates as soon as possible.

1. Yahoo Messenger, 8.1.0.239 and earlier
2. Apple QuickTime 7.2
3. Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.6
4. Microsoft Windows Live (MSN) Messenger 7.0, 8.0
5. EMC VMware Player (and other products) 2.0, 1.0.4
6. Apple iTunes 7.3.2
7. Intuit QuickBooks Online Edition, 9 and earlier
8. Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.6.0_X
9. Yahoo Widgets 4.0.5 and previous
10. Ask.com Toolbar 4.0.2.53 and previous
11. Broadcom wireless device driver as used in Cisco Linksys WPC300N
Wireless-N Notebook Adapter 3.50.21.10
12. Macrovision (formerly InstallShield) InstallFromTheWeb, unversioned

The criteria for inclusion in this list, are that: an application must run on Microsoft Windows; be well-known to consumers and frequently downloaded by individuals; not be classified as malicious in and of itself by enterprise IT organizations or security vendors; contain at least one critical vulnerability that was first reported in June 2006 or after and
registered in the National Institute of Standards and Technology's vulnerability database and given a severity rating of between 7.0 and 10.0 on the CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System); and rely on the end user, as opposed to a central administrator, to manually patch or upgrade the software.
