I have a few questions about this. First, these aren't three reports, but three 
references to one and the same report from Secunia. 

Secondly, you say that the issues appear to be present with "other Apple 
software", while all three references above talk about "third party software". 
Is that the same thing?

Thirdly, if the problems are so rampant, why is nothing actually going wrong 
with the systems? I'm pretty sure that if any Apple systems were actually 
compromised, we'd hear about it loud and clear. It seems they weren't, or did I 
miss something?

Please note, I didn't read the original one and only Secunia report, only the 
reports of the report you report.
