    Most Kali Linux packages are outdated or vulnerable

    Since Kali Linux Rolling is based on Debian, most the packages are outdated or vulnerable. For example, the Firefox and Firefox-ESR have two 0day vulnerabilities recently and they have been fixed by the Firefox official. Meanwhile, most of the Linux distributions are updated accordingly, e.g. Ubuntu. However, Firefox-ESR in Kali is still vulnerable.

    I think that the packages in Kali Linux should be up-to-date as it is a security Linux distribution. Nobody will used a vulnerable penetration testing tool to do the security stuff.

    Hope Kali Linux team can look into it and improve it in the near future.

    While you do not know attack, how can you know about defense? (未知攻,焉知防?)
