Openssh is one of the pieces of software that I would argue needs to be kept up to the latest and greatest regardless of the original version shipped by the distro.
I would similarly push for latest version of OpenSSL but that's harder to get right.
- Fnoord 10y agoRight now distros who backport, such as Debian, need to very carefully read changelogs and decide what and what not to backport. Quite a daunting task.
- newman314 10y agoI get that. My argument is for a small subset of software tools, to be considered to be sufficiently critical that updates are prioritized because compromise of said tools would have outsized consequences.
