Security Patches

InfoSec

Regardless of which Operating System you run, it is important to keep up with the critical updates to keep your machines as safe as possible

Realize that by the time a critical bug has been reported, verified, patched and delivered to your distribution of choice, a significant amount of time has passed...
From the first day the bug has been discovered [zero day] to the day you patch your computing machine, you've had a vunurable open machine in that one respect.
Keep the amount of time between the availability, of patches & the update of your machines, especially your VMs (Qemu et al) & physical servers as short as possible
Make sure to always use manual updates on your server VM's!
I shall not explain why, start reading on Wikipedia and furthe, the explanation is too long for this short post

Notes:

every OS can have vunurabilities
Security in obscurity does not work!
you are not secure because you run obsolete AmigaOS QNX or cool and niche *BSD as an OS
buffer overflows hide everywhere
I reguraly find them!
