Software vulnerabilities more than doubled between 2012 and 2017, but vendors are doing a better job of patching the holes in a timely manner, with 86% of vulnerabilities having patches available on the day of disclosure. These are among the key findings from Flexera’s latest Vulnerability Review. The annual report found that 19,954 vulnerabilities were documented in 2017, up 14% from 2016 and more than double the 9895 vulnerabilities recorded in 2012.
