Some critical vulnerabilities never become a big danger, even when administrators fail to patch them. This makes it difficult to defend the expense of constantly updating and maintaining system patches and probably leads to a lot of the complacency we see in information security.

Of course, other vulnerabilities become major attack vectors for hackers. This has been the case recently with a slew of Apache Web server vulnerabilities.
