Friday security updates across Linux distributions

On 9 October 2026, as recorded in the Radar bookmark, several Linux distributions published security updates for a range of packages. The source text is a machine translation of content from the LWN feed and lists the updated packages by distribution. AlmaLinux updated items such as bind, freerdp, glibc, openssl, perl-DBI, python3.12 and tftp. Debian updated rails and twitter-bootstrap3. Fedora updated barman, cockpit, nginx-mod-modsecurity, sudo and xorg-x11-server-Xwayland, among others. Oracle updated firefox, kernel, nodejs24, vim and bind9.18. Red Hat updated kernel, libreswan, runc and osbuild-composer. SUSE and Ubuntu published long lists, including several kernel variants such as linux-aws, linux-azure, linux-gcp and linux-fips. The received text gives no impact assessment and no description of the vulnerabilities. To verify, consult the original LWN article and the official advisories of each distribution your team uses. Administrators should apply the updates under their internal maintenance policy.
