Time to fix by vendor
The median number of days from the publication of a CVE to its first fixed package in Debian (DSA, DLA) or Ubuntu (USN), for the CVEs of each vendor. These advisories carry the true day of the fixed package. A fix before the publication, as after an embargo, counts as 0 days. The 25 vendors with the most dated fixes are below.
