The known security holes were fixed have been plugged in 3.0. What was  
first thought to be a security hole in 3.0 was discovered about a week  
ago, but it turns out to only be a hole if you are running with a ROM  
version that never made it outside of NeXT. So it isn't a hole.

NeXT does provide source if you buy a source license. Last I checked, it  
was $10,000.
