you are right. I am not sure, how we can improve the security on Debian ? Is the security team to small ? Some security holes are not so easy to fix, because the most of this fix-patches exists only for newer versions. To bring the patch back to a older version it is not always so easy and need a test phase too.
Nice greetings, Harald

Here is the link from the old thread: http://lists.debian.org/debian-security/2005/01/threads.html#00201
Me, too ;)
However, I gave you some *explanation" that time ;-)
However,
Btw. I'm quite worried about the Shape of Debian's security.
Take CAN-2004-1154 "[SECURITY] [DSA 701-1] New samba packages fix arbitrary code execution" for instance.
Fixed in Samba: 15th December 2004 (with 3.0.10 from samba.org) Fixed in SuSE: 22th December 2004 Fixed in Woody: 31st. March 2005
That ain't good.
Keep smiling yanosz
