Simple. Assign *full* SMP/E access to anyone that needs to use SMP/E to install

small subset of your user community.
We've done that by limitting update access to that subset.
The exposure is further limited by IBM secrecy about the problem.
Or, at risk, because the secrecy doesn't let you know what the problem is.
In most "hidden integrity APAR" cases, there is an bona-fide fix of some
kind. After the fix becomes available, one could argue that discussing
the exposure is OK. Of course, people without the fix applied are still
exposed--which was Jim Mulder's point. But I can see both sides given
the right circumstances.
