The Debian project is pleased to announce the seventh update of its
stable distribution Debian 9 (codename "stretch"). This point release
incorporates the recent security update for APT [1], in order to help
ensure that new installations of stretch are not vulnerable. No other
updates are included.

New installation images will be available soon at the regular locations.

Upgrading an existing installation to this revision can be achieved by
pointing the package management system at one of Debian's many HTTP
mirrors. Due to the nature of the included updates, in this case it is
recommended to follow the instructions listed in DSA-4371 [2].
