When waiting for Oracle to fix some of the security issues I've informed
them about, I've noted that, if a fix is available for a given platform,
Oracle may to slip it in to a CPU without announcing it. Only when all
platforms have a patch available do Oracle then note it in their risk
matrix. This is probably what you're seeing.
