I recall at one point there being an update to Internet Explorer that said something similar.
"This update eliminates all previously addressed security vulnerabilities as well as any newly discovered vulnerabilities affecting Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP. Download now to protect your computer from these vulnerabilities."
How can you fix something that is unknown?
As Donald Rumsfeld(*) so poetically put it:
There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know.
:)
(*): IMHO he (and everyone who took high positions in the government and the military of the U.S.A. for the last... hm, 70 years or so) is a dick. But what a funny quote
Rumsfield didn't say anything new. What he said was a variation of Johari window.1) things known to all (public); 2) things known to you but not to others (secrets); 3) thinks known to others but not to you (individual unawareness); and 4) things unknown to all (collective unawareness)
