Top10 Blowing Chunks :>

http://www.qualys.com/research/top10/ So I recently found out about the Qualys Top 10 vulnerabilities list, which is a pretty cool resource really. Any time a big company with a lot of data offers a view into it, it is a useful thing, even if just to understand the built-in filter on the data. They have both "internal" and "external" which I think could better be further broken down into "authenticated scans" and "unauthenticated scans". You'll see client-side attacks predominating the "internal" scans, which were obviously found by the kind of patch-and-file checking that authenticated scans allow. However, you'll also see very very strange things in the external scans. The most weird is that Apache Chunked is a top-10 in August 2013, but not in November of 2011. For it to be anywhere at all is strange, because it's a 10 year old vulnerability that only affected Windows and BSD-based Apache's in the first place (which are not the majority of Apache installs, to say the least). So what conclusions can you draw? Is it a false positive? Is it weirdly common? If it is a false positive, is this an issue with a particular check in Qualys or is this vulnerability very hard to correctly determine in the first place? Also, MS08-067 seems to me to be something that should no longer be in the top-10...Wolfgang said he's looking into it, so maybe we can get a response to the list at some point. It would be great if Tenable and Rapid7 and the other people in the VA world would release similar numbers. -dave
