Comment on Ubuntu Security Updates Are a Confusing Mess

Comments

...what are my options? > ...Maybe it is time to go back to Debian, as they seem to release these fixes to their users?

Curious if this would actually be a solution. They state that fixes in Debian are down-streamed regardless of support, so if this fix wasn't down-streamed, then why would it be in Debian ?

The fix is in debian (and in devian derivatives like devuan) https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2022-42252

As for why it isn't in Ubuntu 22.04 - perhaps because the Ubuntu release schedule does not match debian's. Debian buster was released in september 2022 - Ubuntu's April tagging is probably based off of the prior debian release which only gets critical updates.
