Better than half of the fixes in the 2005-007 security update from Apple were fixes for components of UNIX or other applications included with OSX... and were issued for all UNIX installations (and those other apps), not just Apple's OSX. Included in these non-Apple updates were Kerebos, Bluetooth, MySQL, and Apache, etc.

So as long as it wasn't specifically made by Apple, it's okay?

I assume you'll defend Microsoft should they ever decide to start shipping out Windows CDs packaged with a faulty Norton Antivirus?

Absolutely, neither Apple nor Microsoft can be held responsible for third party software flaws. The best they can do is provide the patches to fix them to their users.
