Any examples more recent than CVE-2008-0166?

Worth noting lest I give the wrong impression, I don't think security is a reason to avoid Debian. For me the hacked up kernels and old packages have been much more the pain points, though I mostly stopped doing that work a few years ago. As a regular user (unless you're compiling lots of software yourself) it's a non-issue
Once an OS is no longer actively supported, it will begin to accumulate known problems if the attack surface is large.
Thus, a legacy complex-monolith or Desktop host often rots quicker than a bag of avocados. =3
