It seems to me that "improved" carries the same type of uncertainty as "fixed" would. If the "improvement" didn't actually fix the security issue, then was it really an improvement?

(To be clear, it may have been, but we don't know without actually seeing what change they made to the code.)

In large organization, you'll see people move to verbiage like 'improved' because it's true without the implication that 'fixed' has which directly implies that the previous implementation was 'broken'. I am with Apple on this, they 'improved' the software.
