If that's your problem, setting up your fire wall on that machine to not
allow inbound connections is a pretty safe way to keep from getting rooted
while you are doing the updates.

Note that there is a separate updates repository with the latest (and in
a few cases some older updates) updates. You can even download the whole
repository fairly conveniently if you have broadband. I would suggest doing
this before Thursday, as the mirrors will be hit pretty hard for a while
starting then.
