    Some package managers have a command to see if anything is in need of restart. Zypper has ps -s for example. I’d restart to be sure though.

      My server tells me a restart would be required because of:

      linux-base linux-image-6.1.0-22-amd64

      Does that have anything to do with the SSH package?

        It sounds like it’s the kernel but whether it has anything to do with ssh, I really don’t know. Sometimes parts work together in surprising ways, as I learned with the recent sshd/systemd/xz exploit.

        You might be fine and this was the most alarming exploit since it’s very inconvenient, but personally I’d restart just to be sure.
