What did it take for stubborn IBM to fix flaws in its Data Risk Manager security software? Someone dropping zero-days

WTF?

I really don't understand the attitude.

I know it is all too common, but why?

The software I work on doesn't have any security implications, beyond possibly freezing the desktop. However if I'm told about a bug in my code - especially if a proof of concept is included, it goes straight to the top of my TODO list (unless it's impossible to replicate). What is the point of doing anything else?
