AlmaLinux 2624 Published by

AlmaLinux has issued security errata for versions 9 and 10 addressing vulnerabilities across libarchive, gpsd, the kernel, perl-DBI, golang, and tomcat9. The patches resolve command injection flaws in gpsd packages and a double-free error in libarchive used for RAR5 decompression, alongside fixes for XFS data corruption and cryptographic state handling within the kernel. Golang updates advance AlmaLinux 10 systems to version 1.26.5, remediating privilege escalation risks in Punycode label processing and directory traversal via symlinks. Tomcat 9 installations gain protections against information disclosure caused by a padding oracle flaw in EncryptInterceptor and bypassed encryption of sensitive data.
