1 minute read

During the Copy Fail security event, the Plesk security team published a very helpful guide detailing how to update the kernel for each Linux distribution.

Here are the commands for the distributions we use most frequently.

AlmaLinux

dnf clean metadata
dnf update 'kernel*'
reboot

Ubuntu

apt update
apt upgrade
reboot

Using sudo might be required.
