Let me use that opportunity to state the fact that distributions will never be 
able to backport all security patches properly. The argument “but RHEL 
backports security fixes” is not really a valid one.

A very good example is a security check for a problem fixed in PHP 2011 where I 
added an exploitability check in our installer and if the bug was still 
exploitable showed a big red security warning. The problem was then finally 
addressed 2013 in RHEL as well (was funny to see our users spamming the RHEL 
bug tracker)
