Ubuntu Linux Security VS Shodan

From TFA: > Ubuntu Pro expands security coverage for critical, high and medium Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) to thousands of applications and toolchains, including Ansible, Apache Tomcat, Apache Zookeeper, Docker, Drupal, Nagios, Node.js, phpMyAdmin, Puppet, PowerDNS, Python 2, Redis, Rust, WordPress, and more. So sounds like coverage of a bunch of stuff in their Universe repository that is not part... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

Sorry to burst your bubble but Ubuntu has automatic security updates by default since 2016.
