Depending on your definition of "up-to-date", it's arguably both.
There hasn't been a point release for oldstable for some time. This update
includes the security updates for which DSAs were issued in the several
months prior to security support ceasing in February, together with a
number of other updates to packages; see
http://release.debian.org/proposed-updates/oldstable.html for a complete
list.
