Why do I keep seeing Heartbleed and Shellshock mentioned in articles specifically about Linux security? Those two vulnerabilities had nothing to do with Linux.
Software using OpenSSL or bash on any platform were vulnerable. That includes Macs and Windows.
Linux is extremely popular for servers and embedded systems where OpenSSL and bash are common but bringing them up every time "security + Linux" are discussed is a bit like talking about tires that blow out whenever the topic of logistics comes up.
