Ubuntu, for instance, has unattended-upgrade (that it defaults to on), the premise being that it will forcefully install and use critical security patches. Ideally you'd have done this yourself ASAP, but if not I have to think that unattended-upgrade came into play at some point.
- pavs 12y agoThat must be it. I can't think of any other way it could be patched. I didn't know about unattended-upgrade before.
- tobltobs 12y agounattended-upgrade in default mode does _not_ update anything. Neither on Ubuntu, Debian or any other distribution.
- personZ 12y agoDefault means "the default when you install Ubuntu", not the unconfigured state of that process. For kernel and in-use things it would still require a restart, however maybe at some point DO forced a restart, even if unrelated.
