Here's what's on the system:

That only tells you the package name, not the version.  Use "uname -a"
to get the actual running version,

ravenlx@hpg7:~$ uname -a
Linux hpg7 4.9.0-3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.30-2+deb9u2 (2017-06-26) x86_64 GNU/Linux

or "dpkg -l linux-image\* | cat"
to get the installed kernel versions.

ravenlx@hpg7:~$ dpkg -l linux-image\* | cat

Someone else mentioned unattended upgrades, which is a thing I have
never used, and which is also a thing I would disable if I ever found
it running.  But that's just me.

I would like to do that but don't know how. Anyone caring to enlighten me without me having to bother poor old Mr. Google yet again - it would be appreciated. :)
