RE: DB2 has fairly large # of vulnerabilities in latest SQL 2014 brochure

http://nvd.nist.gov/

Looks like the vulnerability database is comprised mostly of tests Microsoft submits, so it would make sense their database excels. Microsoft NEEDS to do this more than the other makers as SQL Server has long been perceived as the most vulnerable and most fragile.

Subject: DB2 has fairly large # of vulnerabilities in latest SQL 2014 brochure

I was looking at the datasheet for SQL 2014 that will be coming out within the
next year or so. What I found interesting is they ranked the major databases
by vulnerabilities over a 5 year period. Microsoft SQL was #1 with the fewest
vulnerabilities, Oracle and DB2 had by far the most vulnerabilities discovered.

A104-C945C188FA99/SQL_Server_2014_Datasheet.pdf

I'm curious though, I can't seem to find their source of this information on
the NIST vulnerability database to corroborate this news.

I'm suspecting that most of this is from DB2 on LUW and not the DB2 for i
variety as the LUW version is a bit more mainstream.

Thoughts?
