Joe,

When IBM discovers a security or integrity problem, the PTF description
looks pretty much like this one:

APAR Error Description / Circumvention

DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM FIXED FOR APAR MA28042 :
-----------------------------------------------
  Integrity Problem.


And I think Rob's point is that we just don't know if this is a big,
malevolent, widespread, high impact problem, or just a nit.  IBM's
policy is to not discuss the details of security and/or integrity
problems, so we are forced to take it on faith that all is well.  Given
IBM's track record, many of us our comfortable taking it on faith.  It's
important to understand that the level of disclosure (mostly, but not
completely, end-user driven) about MS security problems and the level of
disclosure about IBM security problems is not an apples to apples
comparison.
