Remote code execution vulnerability in apt/apt-get
Yep, this is our daily reminder that they're called "testing" and "unstable" for a reason. They're not meant for production.

New fixes often land in unstable/testing before going to stable branches.

I would hope so! Why have a testing branch if you're not going to test things in it?

True. But also new vulnerabilities land into unstable when upstream software releases are made. :)
That's why the distribution is baked for months before being called stable.
