I’ve been running my home lab since 2021 and honestly thought my update routine was solid: apt update && apt upgrade, reboot, job done.
Turns out I was wrong. I was checking CVE‑2026‑31431 (Copy Fail) this morning and realised that despite my “successful” updates, I was still running a vulnerable kernel from March.
I’ve had to rethink how I handle host updates. If you’re relying on a standard upgrade and a reboot to keep Proxmox or Debian hosts safe, you might want to check if yours is lying to you as well.
I thought full-upgrade replaced dist-upgrade that could make you think you’re upgrading you distro to the next version
But now I’m not sure anymore.
Correct. Full-upgrade is the new term. It’s an alias, though, so using either will accomplish the same thing.
