Two vulnerabilities in the popular BIND 9 DNS server jeopardise the server's stability and can cause the service to crash.

Make no mistake about it, Google updates its Chrome browser very rapidly. At the beginning of June, Google released the first stable version of Chrome 12, fixing at least 15 different security issues and adding new features. Chrome 12 itself is the fourth major browser release from Google so far in 2011. Now Google is updating Chrome

As I have gone through the 30 Days With Ubuntu Linux experience--and especially the past couple days as I have toyed with Wine and trying to get Windows software to run within Ubuntu--I have seen ample evidence of the security features of the OS. Simply put, Ubuntu Linux (and, I assume, Linux in general) is more secure by default.
