http://www.debian.org/security/faq#testing states:

Q: How is security handled for testing and unstable?

A: The short answer is: it's not. Testing and unstable are rapidly
moving targets and the security team does not have the resources needed
to properly support those. If you want to have a secure (and stable)
server you are strongly encouraged to stay with stable. However, the
security secretaries will try to fix problems in testing and unstable
after they are fixed in the stable release.
