If the only thing you did was to change from CF to Foundation API, then you're OK. There's preciously little difference in implementation between the two in the cases where they have overlapping APIs.

And you're right, Apple would promptly fix any known security bugs. Worry about bugs in your code, not bugs in Apple's code.
