<aside>
<p><span class="fas fa-caret-right fa-3x"></span> Debian takes security very seriously. We handle all security problems brought to our attention and ensure that they are corrected within a reasonable timeframe.</p>
</aside>

<p>
Experience has shown that <q>security through obscurity</q> never works. Therefore, public disclosure allows for quicker and better solutions of security problems. In that respect, this page addresses Debian's status regarding various known security holes, which could potentially affect the Debian operating system.
</p>

<p>
The Debian project coordinates many security advisories with other free software vendors, and as a result, these advisories are published the same day a vulnerability is made public.
In order to receive the latest Debian security advisories, please subscribe to the <a href="https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/">debian-security-announce</a> mailing list.
</p>

<p>
Debian also participates in security standardization efforts:
</p>

<ul>
  <li>The <a href="#DSAS">Debian Security Advisories</a> are <a href="cve-compatibility">CVE-Compatible</a></li>
  <li>Debian <a href="oval/">publishes</a> its security information using the <a href="https://github.com/CISecurity/OVALRepo">Open Vulnerability Assessment Language (OVAL)</a></li>
</ul>

<h2><a id="keeping-secure">Keeping your Debian System secure</a></h2>



<p>

The packages <a href="https://packages.debian.org/stable/admin/unattended-upgrades">unattended-upgrades</a> can be installed
to keep the computer current with the latest security (and other) updates automatically.

The <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/UnattendedUpgrades">wiki entry</a> has
more detailed information how to manually set up <tt>unattended-upgrades</tt>.

<p>
