Six major distros shipped fresh security fixes today, with Ubuntu stacking 48 notices and Red Hat delivering 82 advisories across RHEL 7 through 10. Ubuntu's Pillow update took a particularly heavy hit with 39 CVEs, while RHEL's fence-agents patch warrants attention since it controls node power in clusters.
