You could backport the patch, that's exactly how Debian achieves stability.
- chias 5y agoDoing so myself is the antithesis of depending on stable software. As someone who maintains a PHP website in my spare time, no, I'm not going to go backport a patch to a C library -- a language I have a passing familiarity with -- which may depend on other updates that have occurred between now and the last Debian Stable release, and which may, if I do it wrong, compromise the security and stability of my entire system.
