Case in point: the CWE/SANS list of the top 25 most dangerous software errors. Each year, the list's editors draw upon the experience of leading software security experts to rank programming errors by frequency, severity, and the likelihood that they will lead to exploitable vulnerabilities. This year's list was published this week, and the bad news is how few surprises it contains.
Well worth the read, particularly in this day and age of Anonymous and LulzSec.
