Ok, I'm not starting a war or anything here... I agree with Dave as to the fact that it doesn't happen in most cases.
But I believe it should. If you code something that uses underlying code/structure/etc made by someone else and that code/structure/etc gets updated due to security issues/etc, then you should validate your stuff against the new version. If it works then great support it, suggest that people upgrade and give the clients instructions on how to implement it with you system as well as how to remove the older version that you installed with your product. If it doesn't work, then create a hotfix/updater/etc that will make it work. I mean if you built something based off of ProgramX, you installed ProgramX on my computer and then the creators of ProgramX determine that it will do something like give hackers credit card numbers and pins, but when they produce a fix you don't support it, then I think you are responsible when my credit card numbers are released. After all, your install put the bad software on my system. I mean after all, if you buy a car with a defective part (every car has a defective part not just 1), they recall the car and replace the part. The responsibility lies both with the automaker and the parts manufacturer. Just my .02.
