@KneeTitts @Jason2357 Recently there are a lot of zero-day kernel exploits (local privilege escalation), so I would make sure "up to date" includes regular reboots into new kernels. As opposed to just relying on something like unattended-upgrades.

For the past few weeks we've been averaging one LPE per week, and it's probably going to continue like that for a bit.
