Thank you for subscribing to the LinuxSecurity Linux Advisory Watch newsletter! Staying on top of the latest security advisories issued by the distro(s) you use is essential in maintaining an updated, secure Linux system. Our weekly newsletter is an easy, convenient way to track distribution security advisories - helping you keep your Linux environment safe from malware and other exploits.


Important advisories issued this week include a warning from Debian regarding a php-pear security update mitigating a vulnerability that allows Tar.php in Archive_Tar to write operations with Directory Traversal due to inadequate checking of symbolic links, and an advisory from Fedora urging users to update to the 5.11.13 stable kernel, which contains a number of important fixes across the tree. Continue reading to learn about other significant advisories issued this week.

As part of our website redesign that is currently underway, we will be updating the format of our Linux Advisory Watch newsletter, and adding the ability for you to create a User Profile and customize it to include the latest advisories for the distros you are tracking. The new site will be live very soon - stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks! Have a happy, healthy and secure weekend!

Yours in Open Source,
