Out of the box Debian has pretty much nothing installed. I don't know of any

same for VMS 5. When was the last VMS 5 security patch ? It was released in
1988.
Please either list the known vulnerabilities in VMS v5 or quit talking out
your ass.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
Tell me
how debian is less secure out of the box ?
Well, if you're on x86 or x64, which
most Debian probably will be, then
it's less secure in that it's capable of running the payload of most
cracking tools.
A VAX isn't, not unless you run an x86 emulator on it (which is
definitely not an out-of-the-box configuration).
Debian is also less secure in that it's popular enough to have had a
lot more cracker attention; Debian-attacking tools are far commoner and
far more commonly used than VMS-attacking tools.
