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.
