Between 2003 and 2008, i5/OS V5Rx was affected by 1 Secunia
issued advisory which was non critical and has been fixed.
Actually, if you include OS/400 V4 and V5 then you're up to 10. :) And IBM isn't exactly forthcoming with information about security and stability issues (see: information in "integrity ptf" cover letters, or rather the lack of information).
Seriously though. Given that every tom dick and harry can get a copy of W2K3 and bang on it in their free time does that surprise you? And most of these "advisories" were nearly impossible to exploit on a properly secured box anyway. How many people are actively looking for issues in i5/OS? Any? There are companies that do just that for Windows.
Now, I'll admit that's a double edged comment. You can say i5/OS doesn't need to be checked since it's so secure, and I'll say, they've not found as many issues because no one is looking.
