And I ask you where is the expoit information? What is the
vulnerability? Do exploits exist? Can you test if you are vulnerability?
These is a site that list patches..not the same thing.  Interesting that
you think they are the same. Apple doesn't follow Full-Disclourse, that
was my point. 

I didn't mean they don't patch...

Nessus does work against Macs, the problem with testing 
Macs is they 
never released vulnerability statements..never. If a hole is found, 
Apple releases a patch and no ones says anything. If Microsoft did 
this..everyone would go crazy.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you don't know what you're 
talking about.

Protip:  Google for 'apple security' and this is the first hit.
