I don't expect this situation to change whatsoever, so I believe that the workaround is for security conscious users & organizations to assume that FOSS software is highly insecure and should only be run on untrusted PC's in untrusted network subnets. By this I mean that a computer network should be divided into isolated & firewalled subnets that are separated into high security (trusted), medium security (production), low security (untrusted) and public (totally untrusted) zones that never co-mingle their network traffic. That way security breaches in untrusted subnets are irrelevant to the organization because no valuable private information ever exists in them – they are only for public facing insecure tasks with no privacy value.
That, actually, makes sense for those of us embracing open source – why would we need data security privacy on a computer devoted to creating FOSS & FOSH content that we'll be donating to the global commons anyway? Sure, we might take basic security precautions, but nothing beyond that is worth our time & effort. Especially if the FOSS we're using is full of unpatched security holes anyway...
