setsppfp & LOGINP vulnerabilities (circa June 2000)

Looking through the MI archives for something totally unrelated to this post, I
found the month of June 2000 to be quite interesting.

Gene Gaunt reveals a few holes in the signon mechanism.  One via 
setsppfp(SubSystem)
[http://archive.midrange.com/mi400/200006/msg00016.html] and another via the 
LOGINP
display file keyword for signon displays.  

Following through the threads, it appears that IBM patched these "little 
buggers". 
Can I presume that these are part of the base code in V5R2 & above?  IOW, we 
don't
have to explicitly find & download these PTF's?

Four years later, are there any known signon security exposures that are not 
well
known?  Or that require specific attention to close?

Thanks,
GA
