Beware, if you’re talking unstable vs. testing here, testing is the one with the worst security support (= none at all) of all Debian branches. Security fixes are provided in unstable as part of packaging new upstream releases, and cherry-picked to stable through the dedicated security channel. On testing, security fixes do not go through a special channel: they trickle down from unstable following the usual rules, so with at least a 3 to 5 days delay that can grow to weeks or even months if you’re unlucky.
