Linux source code is available and there are fixes to THEORETICAL vulnerabilities. The "vulnerable" code can't actually be used for an attack in existing applications. To successfully exploit many of these vulnerablities, you would actually have to write a custom version specifically designed to circumvent "firewall" code that protects the "vulnerable" code.

Many of these "exploits" would require the would-be hacker to compile a custom kernel, install it on the system to be attacked, and then make custom configuration changes which can be easily traced, in order to exploit the "frame buffer overrun" and crash the system.

Exploiting an ActiveX control vulnerability can be done with a credit card number taken from a rub-on receipt, along with a shipping invoice.

The custom reconfiguration makes ONE machine vulnerable.

The ActiveX control vulnerability has been used to successfully attack hundreds of millions of machines across the globe.

Linux vendors scramble to close even these theoretical bugs.

Microsoft offers placebo patches that render the machine useless, or do almost nothing to address the root cause vulnerabilites.

Microsoft LIKES those back doors - they use them to track piracy and compebreastor products. They can even use them to investigate specific targeted people. They don't want to give up that power.

Linux "insecurities" are the result of really heavy duty digging.

Windows vulnerabilities are there by DESIGN.
