But aren't you dependent from upstream anyway? Or do you recompile from source the broken dynamic library? In my experience, most sysadmins these days don't compile from source.

No to both. The Linux distribution you use is responsible for backporting patches, fixing the vulnerability, building updated packages, testing them and sending the updates.
You get targeted security updates without changes in any other functionality.
