Hi Ihor!
What do you use to track vulnerabilites in your Debian hosts? What's the
general approach? Do we just rely upon unattended-upgrade to fetch and
install patched packages for us?
I come from the FreeBSD world where there are two distinct mechanisms to
fix vulnerabilites: one for the base system (FreeBSD Security Advisories
and freebsd-update to install binary updates to the base system) and
another for third-party software from the ports collection ("pkg audit
-F" instead of security advisories, "pkg upgrade" to install up-to-date
patched versions of packages).
What do we have here, or where can I read more about it?
