Buffer Overflows
Programmers have a difficult job. Faced with tight deadlines and the need to get products to market quickly, security might be the last thing on their minds. The first series of tests are probably performed by the programmers and quality engineers to get an idea of how applications will function. Beta testing comes next and might be performed internally and externally by prospective users, but after that it’s off to market. There might still be some bugs, but these things can be caught by the consumers and patched in subsequent versions or updates.
