Adequate QA on the fix will take more than a few days. Once IBM makes a gix available, it will take more than a few days for most shops to install it.
If this is the hole I think it is, then IBM "fixed" it incorrectly, and it had to be reported a second time.
And in the early days IBM was sloppy - the PASSWORD SVC had an undocumented function that never checked a passed address; at a minimum that would allow anyone to crash the system.
