I was reading about how ASM uses raw partitions, instead of an O/S file system, and had a few questions:

Does this mean that the O/S is not used for ASM at all?
How is security handled? Normally, O/S patches come out every so often to handle security holes. How is this handled with Oracle raw devices? Does this make ASM less secure than typical O/S file systems?
