AlmaLinux 2589 Published by

AlmaLinux shipped new security patches yesterday. The updates covers versions 8 through 10, and PostgreSQL and TigerVNC take the front seat with important-rated fixes that plug credential recovery leaks before knocking out denial-of-service bugs. Admins will also find moderate to low severity tweaks for Python 3.14, Vim, libpng, and a handful of system libraries aimed at shutting down buffer overflows and command injection flaws.
