Re: [tor-relays] Linux kernel vulnerability

Would it be acceptable to configure unattended-upgrades to automatically reboot the system when required? I already have it configured to check for and install all updates to Ubuntu and Tor once a day, but I still need to manually reboot to apply kernel upgrades.

Remember,
to know your current debian linux kernel : uname -a

If your kernel is not up to date :
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade && reboot
