Full takeover
What to do
- Update the AlmaLinux packages listed in the LWN digest, including curl, kernel, glibc and the Node.js and Ruby streams
- Update symfony and tomcat10 on Debian systems
The Brief
- AlmaLinux issued security updates for curl, dpdk, glibc, kernel, several Node.js and Ruby streams, patch, qt5, squid:4, tomcat, util-linux and webkit2gtk3.
- Debian issued security updates for symfony and tomcat10.
