May I question the meaning of this heading.
I understand it to mean that if the program in question were not patched I would be exposed to a threat of some kind.
What are the significant levels. I cannot find any explanation.
Would it not be better to indicate the threat on unpatched software, patched software is presumably not a problem. It is an impossible situation to assess what the threat might be if one of the patched or unpatched programs becomes the target of malicious software until it happens. |

I think you can find the explanation for the 5 different threat levels here:

Thanks for that response. It did indeed explain the levels of threat clearly. I still think there is a misnomer here due to the preceived threat being unknown. |
