Not strictly true.

Apache on IBM i is a native port and therefore benefits from the tag bit protection of all native apps. So, many of the buffer overrun and similar type exploits that affect other platforms will not impact IBM i. Might cause Apache to crash, but that doesn't expose anything.

Yes, you name it. You believe. Why should Apache on platform a being easier or harder to break than on platform b? Makes no sense. The outcome is the same for both approaches. When the attacker gains a shell it's game over. No matter if Linux or PASE.
