Debian Bookworm and Bullseye Users Receive Important Linux Security Updates - 9to5Linux

As a headline reader I'd sure hope users of these distros receive security updates
Good thing my server still runs Jessie!
Still on 6.1.0-17 and nothing shows up after sudo apt update.
- You're good. That's the latest image, it's just the confusing Debian version scheme where the package version is not the same as the kernel version. Debian package version 6.1.0-17 = kernel version 6.1.69-1
  See:
  `
  
  $ uname -a Linux debian12 6.1.0-17-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.69-1 (2023-12-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux `
  And:
  `
  
  $ dpkg-query --list linux-image-6.1.0-17-amd64 Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-==========================-============-============-================================= ii linux-image-6.1.0-17-amd64 6.1.69-1 amd64 Linux 6.1 for 64-bit PCs (signed) `
- 6.1.0-17 is the one I received today. I was on 6.1.0-16 until now.
I had a security download (but not yet installed) ready yesterday. Logged off without installing. Turned on my device today and couldnt log in. Checked my pwd 3 times before seeing "authentication service not working " iirc.
After reboot it installed and logging in worked.
Is this related or not and is it expected? Not being able to log in without a mandatory patch first so to say?
- no that just sounds like a bug
