Fixing CVEs on Debian: _almost_ everything you should know about it
Abstract
Have you ever asked yourself how your free and open source operating system keeps you safe from known security vulnerabilities? Should you proactively do something about it? Actually, is your operating system safe? Can you help making it more secure?
Let's talk about how Debian deals with security vulnerabilities in order to keep its users safe, how security fixes are applied and how these fixes get to users' machine. The idea is to give a general overview of how vulnerability management is conducted in Debian and why one can feel safe using Debian.
