GnuTLS, Unrar, Distro-Info-Data updates for Debian

Published by

Debian GNU/Linux has rolled out a series of important updates, including security patches for the GnuTLS library and the UnRAR tool, as well as an update to the distro-info-data database. These updates address multiple vulnerabilities and enhance the overall security of the Debian operating systems.

For Debian GNU/Linux 9 (Stretch) Extended LTS, the following updates have been issued:
- ELA-1496-1: A security update for gnutls28, addressing vulnerabilities identified by CVEs, including CVE-2025-32988 (a double-free error) and CVE-2025-32990 (a buffer overrun issue).

Debian GNU/Linux 10 (Buster) Extended LTS received:
- ELA-1495-1: A security update for gnutls28, fixing similar vulnerabilities as noted for Stretch.
- ELA-1494-1: A security update for unrar-nonfree, which resolves an ANSI escape injection vulnerability (CVE-2024-33899).

For Debian GNU/Linux 11 (Bullseye), the update includes:
- DLA 4267-1: Another security update for gnutls28, correcting vulnerabilities such as CVE-2025-6395 (a NULL dereference issue) along with the previously mentioned CVEs.

In addition, the distro-info-data database has been updated:
- ELA-1497-1: This update introduces release and estimated end-of-life dates for Debian 13 "Trixie" and adds a new "eol-legacy" column to provide information on Ubuntu's legacy support.

To ensure system security and stability, users are encouraged to upgrade their gnutls28 and unrar packages. Detailed information on the security status of these packages can be accessed through the Debian security tracker, and additional guidance on applying updates is available on the Debian Wiki.

As Debian continues to evolve, these updates reflect the project's commitment to maintaining a secure and reliable operating system for its users. Future updates are likely to focus on further enhancing security measures and addressing emerging vulnerabilities as they are discovered
