You're missing the point. First, if windows has them installed then YES they are windows vulnerabilities. if you installed them and they didn't come with the isntall disk then no they aren't. And YOU are missing the point. I installed both Ruby and Perl when I installed X11 to run some UNIX apps on my Mac. They were not installed as part of the default OS X installation.
The vast majority of Mac users posting on the websites discussing MoAB have been unable to make their examples work.

Well I chose to install TCP/IP on my windows box, so all the hacks that come from the Internet don't count. See how silly that is. Fact: It's on the install disk and distro'd by Apple with the OS. Fact: if you install it you're vulnerable. Fact: Apple will fix it.
It's not a big deal. Just accept that the mac isn't perfect and is susceptible to exploits. Not as many as windows currently, but still vulnerable.
