Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add the following line: deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free Then run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade. Any packages that have been updated with security fixes will be upgraded. You might want to subscribe to the debian-security-announce list as well, to get notified when security fixes are applied.
