[Techtalk] kernel security patches

[Carla Schroder]

I'm so confused. :) And feeling like a bit of a dunce, after all these years 
of using Linux. How do distributions handle applying kernel security patches? 
Like Debian and Red Hat? None of my machines have kernel sources. I use 
up2date on Red Hat boxes, and of course have the usual security sources in my 
Debain sources.list. So are my kernels getting updated or not?
