You're running Sid and you have to ask?

Debian's unstable branch doesn't usually receive any coverage from the Security Team, see the Security FAQ for more on this.

You don't have to respond to a question that's over your head but I guess there's one in every crowd, keep reading you'll catch up eventually :roll:

It's more that Sid users are assumed to be more knowledgeable than the average bear, or at least be able to research a simple question like that themselves...

I third that assertion that Sid users should know how to research simple questions like that.
But to answer anyway (I'm feeling generous today) - there is no freeze for Sid, it moves ahead while testing is frozen, and when Bullseye is released a flood of packages from Sid suddenly pour in to become the new Testing.

And you may wish to edit your response to Bulkley, they made a valid point and you won't win any friends here with that kind of attitude.

Sid exclusively gets security updates through its package maintainers. The Debian Security Team only maintains security updates for the current "stable" release.
