Shockwave, Flash and AIR security holes are all related to bad memory management, the usual plague of modern coding.

ColdFusion has two authentication security holes.

Coming Up:

Oracle is scheduled to post a new version of the Java 7 browser plugin on Tuesday, 2013-04-16. Rumor has it that Oracle is holding onto over 50 known security holes in Java 7. Let's see how many they bother to patch this time. I'm not optimistic. :-P
