Tixy, thanks. I did check the latest Deb 10 version but not the change log.
I was fooled by the Debian version number which looks like the BSD number
which I guess never changes. The change log does show the 6.6 and the
vulnerability mentioned which Debian fixed.

That is a good lesson for me for the future.
