Linux Kernel 6.19.5 and 6.18.15: What You Need to Know About Netfilter Tweaks

Linux 3313 Published 2026-02-28 08:15 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Linux kernel versions 6.19.5 and 6.18.15 have been released, bringing a tweak to the nf_tables subsystem that improves performance for users who rely on iptables-compatible firewalls. The new .abort_skip_removal flag allows the pipapo set backend to ignore element removal during an abort sequence, resulting in faster rule deletions by up to a few milliseconds. To verify if you're running a patched kernel, type "uname -r" in a terminal and check for specific strings indicating the updated version, or use "grep abort_skip_removal /proc/kallsyms." Users who don't rely on pipapo's performance optimization can consider holding back from updating to these kernel versions until downstream distributions have vetted the change.

The Manjaro release is available for download in various ISO variants, including full and minimal images, allowing users to choose their preferred edition and kernel version.

Git regression updates for Ubuntu

Ubuntu 7001 Published 2026-02-28 07:45 by Philipp Esselbach 0

A security issue affecting Git has been identified in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and 20.04 LTS. The problem arose from a regression introduced by USN-5376-4, which incorrectly handled certain repository paths in platforms with multiple users support. An attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability to run arbitrary commands. To correct the issue, update your system to the latest package versions: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS should have git version 1:2.34.1-1ubuntu1.17 and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS should have git version 1:2.25.1-1ubuntu3.14+esm5.

Samba 4.23.6 Update: Fixing Memory Leaks and Improving File Sharing

Software 44167 Published 2026-02-27 13:38 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Samba 4.23.6 has been released with several important bug fixes that improve performance for home and small office networks. The update addresses memory leaks in the rpc_spoolss service, which caused print servers to hang after a sudden crash, as well as lease handling issues that led to unreliable file locks when clients disconnected abruptly. Upgrading to 4.23.6 should resolve common problems such as shared printers stopping response and "file still in use" errors popping up all the time. To upgrade safely, back up custom configuration files, update using your distro's package manager, and restart Samba afterwards.

BIND 9 Releases 9.18.46, 9.20.20 and 9.21.19: Update Now to Fix Critical DNS Bugs and Enhance Server Security

The new releases also improve how BIND logs dnstap messages and randomize nameserver selection to prevent resolution failures. To upgrade, download the latest tarball from ISC's website, verify its signature with gpg, and follow the installation instructions to ensure your server is up-to-date and secure.

Installing PHP 8.5.4RC1 or PHP 8.4.19RC1 on Fedora and RHEL via Remi Test Repositories

Fedora Linux 9262 Published 2026-02-27 13:19 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Remi Collet has made available PHP 8.5.4RC1 and 8.4.19RC1 for developers to test language changes before they hit production, through the Remi Test Repositories on Fedora and RHEL. To use these releases, you need to enable the Remi repositories first by running a few commands in your terminal - this involves installing the dnf-plugins-core package and enabling the remi-modular-test and remi-test repos. If your system already has PHP installed, you can install the RC as an SCL without replacing your default version, and then switch to it using update-alternatives; or if you want to use the new version system-wide, you can swap the module directly with dnf. When you're done testing, reverting is easy - just switch back to a stable version and run an update, and the old packages will replace the RC ones without affecting other system components.
