I'm using debian jessie (testing) i386, and I had to download bash myself (from sid) because my up-to-date system was affected but the first patch was available for sid (unstable) and wheezy (stable) and not in jessie.

So I don't know if every architecture, and version is updated with the same speed.

Jessie isn't released / stable and doesn't receive security patches until it is. It's called testing for a reason.

debian testing do receive security patches, but it is not a priority so they may not get there in a timely manner.

Yeah. I'm aware that stable and old stable need to be patched first, I was just surprised by how much time it took considering the kind of risk (and being beaten by sid, the kid whom always breaks his toys).
