How do Kernel updates work on Woody?

[Didar Hussain <didar@arbornet.org>]

Hi,

I'm a new Debian user. I want to know how do kernel updates
happen? 

Let me explain:

I've installed "Woody" on my PC. The kernel is the default 2.4.18-bf2.4
There have been certain recent kernel vulnerabilities. I'm sure
these got patched. Then why is that when I do a `apt-get upgrade'
I do not see any kernel update mentioned? Will I see it only if 
I install one of the optimized kernel-image packages?

it is, that is equivalent to saying that it is at rest.
