Critical security fixing time is years, not days. Also in practice, a lot of people use PPAs to get work done, and this is a critical component in an audited system.

I’m just gonna leave these here:

[1] https://security-tracker.debian.org/

[2] https://security.archlinux.org/

Remember: “not yet assigned” is equivalent to “not fixed”.
