Debian 12.10 released with 66 bug fixes and 43 security patches for stability and security

Debian 12.10, the latest update to the Debian 12 "Bookworm" series, has been released, offering 66 bug fixes and 43 security updates. Running on the Linux kernel 6.1 LTS, it includes updates to components like glibc, Linux kernel, cURL, and MariaDB, addressing various exploits, and patches for Python-Django, nginx, and Wget to fix security vulnerabilities.

Key desktop applications such as LibreOffice, Thunderbird, and Firefox ESR have received significant security fixes to prevent exploits and unauthorized access. Some packages, like kanboard and libnet-easytcp-perl, have been removed due to security or maintenance issues. The Debian Installer has been updated for smoother installations, incorporating all relevant fixes.

Debian 12.10 focuses solely on security and stability improvements without introducing new features. Users can update existing installations via a terminal command, and the main netinst image supports nine architectures, with live images for amd64 systems available.
