I see, thank you for letting me know. I didn't realize this was the case.
My other distributions updated to patch, but if it's not necessary on

Your computer will only be vu;nerable if you use a non-standard configuration
which allows a user to run commands as other non-root users. If this is the

1. Hold [Shift] key when booting computer (don't wait anything appears
