Stop.

You keep changing your words, and the words are extremely important here.

Originally you said "serious bug", and those may be fixed in a released
stable version, or they may not.  Most bugs are not fixed.  Some are.
I do not know where the Debian developers draw the line.

But all of a sudden now you are sayhing "serious exploit".

Security bugs DO get fixed.

Your change of wording has completely changed the question and therefore
the answer.
