I am new to the Linux and was hoping to get some assistance regarding CVE patching.I can see plenty of CVE's which I need to address but I am not sure how to patch it.

I know the following commands are meant to scan for updated packages but from what I can see there are still newer versions?

sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade

Example is: CVE-2022-40284 (I can see a patches link which links me to Github?)

Not too sure where to go on this one and would really appreciate any assistance.

Thanks ALL!

If you are using Ubuntu, normally major things in major packages get patched by the SEcurity Team (see the CVE you're asking about here), and then a standard sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade will pull in patched software from the repositories. The CVE in question though is already patched – Thomas Ward Apr 21 '23 at 02:10

Does this answer your question? How can I tell if a CVE has been fixed in Ubuntu's repositories?. A step-by-step example of one CVE is at https://askubuntu.com/a/1438590/19626 . – user535733 Apr 21 '23 at 03:23
