My reponse to that is, who cares?  A Macintosh security problem isn't 
less of a problem if it affects computers other than the Macintosh.

Nothing in the response indicates that this isn't a serious security 
problem or that using this security hole a Trojan cannot gain root access 
without user authentication.
