When I do "sudo apt upgrade" I always get in turn the message. It is really getting annoying.

An OpenSSL vulnerability has recently been fixed with USN-6188-1 & 6119-1:
CVE-2023-2650: possible DoS translating ASN.1 object identifiers.
Ensure you have updated the package to its latest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

From the output it looks than nothing must be upgraded, so how should I make sure to update my packages, and what packages should I update?

Also possibly this: What is meant by 'APT News'?. In short, it's Canonical's "marketing fluff" that has been added to the upgrade prompts. Luckily, it can be disabled. – Artur Meinild Aug 03 '23 at 11:00
Finally, this isn't a warning, just a service message. If you do security upgrades regularly, you don't need to do anything else. – Artur Meinild Aug 03 '23 at 11:03
@ArturMeinild should i wait with this this isn't a serious problem right? – Jonte YH Aug 03 '23 at 11:11

This message in itself does not indicate a problem. Only if your package openssl isn't updated is it a problem - and I see no indication of a problem here (or in your other question for that matter). – Artur Meinild Aug 03 '23 at 11:13
@ArturMeinild, I disabled APT news by running command sudo pro config set apt_news=false and it works! – Taras Ivashchuk Aug 03 '23 at 11:27
