Experience has shown that security through obscurity never works. Therefore, public disclosure allows for quicker and better solutions of security problems. In that respect, this page addresses Debian's status regarding various known security holes, which could potentially affect the Debian operating system.

The Debian project coordinates many security advisories with other free software vendors, and as a result, these advisories are published the same day a vulnerability is made public. In order to receive the latest Debian security advisories, please subscribe to the debian-security-announce mailing list.

Debian also participates in security standardization efforts:

Keeping your Debian System secure
