There's a huge security leak in <7.32. So I want to upgrade all my Drupal sites asap without too much worrying about breaking stuff.

But...

$ drush dl drupal-7.32
It's forbidden to download drupal core into an existing core.

This one works:

$ drush up

But that's not what I want now.

How can I only upgrade core to latest version?

drush up drupal is not sufficient on its own: (Sorry about the Dutch. You'll get the gist.)

$ drush up drupal
Controle of updategegevens beschikbaar zijn ...                                                            [ok]

In this case, it looks like you need to do

drush rf    # pm-refresh

before you do 

drush up drupal

This will refresh the list of available updates so Drush knows there is a new release for Drupal.

    thank you. I have tried with drush cc, but clearing the drush cache seems to not cancel this cached release info. drush rf did the job.

Worth mentioning is

$ drush up --security-only

Only update modules that have security updates available.

That includes Drupal core.

drush up drupal

Appending the project you want to update makes drush to only update that project.

  • On some sites drush up drupal and drush up drupal-7.32 both fail at doing what I want. So I have to revert to drush up -y anyway.

  • I've tested the command on one of my local setups. Core is updated but modules are not. As you say, your sites may have something strange. Post your drush command output and we may see what0s wrong. Just update your question.
