That's the beauty of open source. We fix the security vulnerabilities 
before we discover them :)

And microsoft says they have a better turnaround time! They can't even 
get a fix out for a major IE security hole in the same year as it's 
discovered, here we go releasing fixes before they're discovered. Next 
time somebody tells me that open source has too many security holes, 
I'll just say that the time between security exploits and patches is 
measures in the negative :)

As for debian, well, they should have been patched. We all know how 
ancient debian systems are :)
