This problem:

Is hard to solve in Lenny:

When I asked about security updates for Lenny I was told to package it myself.

Hmm. While that *is* a solution, how many people get left behind?

Are there really so many changes between 6_12 and 6_14 that it would break a Lenny system?

(Yes, I know that SANS is reporting an attack on Windows machines. However I'm assuming that the Java vulnerability still exists on Linux installations.)
