The issue is that the fix 'addresses a rare issue where photos that experienced database corruption could reappear in the Photos library even if they were deleted' - and that's all Apple has to say about it.
This is obviously a privacy concern. It raises valid questions as to how Apple stores photo data and whether iPhone owners can truly trust that their deleted data is actually deleted.
Some iPhone owners have reported the same thing happening with deleted voicemails. Did the bug only impact people who use iCloud photo backups? Another post claimed that old photos appeared on an iPad that was sold to another person.
All today's fix confirms that this bug did exist, it was a problem, and it had something to do with database corruption. And by ignoring requests to comment publicly on the matter, it doesn't impart confidence that this won't happen again.
