Hi there!
Welcome to this month’s AlmaLinux newsletter! February has flown by, but here’s what we’ve been up to:
Quick notes:
Looking for ways to help? Here are a couple of good ones!
Help translate the AlmaLinux website!
We're up to 5 different languages that have more than 80% translated on the AlmaLinux website. Do you want to help us get more? Join our community of contributors through Weblate! Here’s more information.
Help on the forums!
Have you ever had a question that you knew for sure someone could help with if only you could find them? That’s what our forums are for! If you have a few minutes, use the link lnx.rocks/forumhelp to help your fellow sysadmins, developers, and DevOps engineers with opinions, answers, and feedback.
Latest from the AlmaLinux Blog
Call for testing - OpenSSH CVE-2025-26465
Qualys recently announced two critical vulnerabilities for OpenSSH - CVE-2025-26465 and 2025-26466. Neither RHEL nor AlmaLinux is impacted by CVE-2025-26466 in any way. However, both AlmaLinux 8 and 9 are impacted by CVE-2025-26465.?
While it is not yet patched in RHEL 9, and is considered out of scope for RHEL 8, some of our users are asking us to patch this for their own security. As a result, we have pulled in the upstream patches and are asking users to test the updates. Learn more in this blog post!
ELevate to CentOS Stream 10!
Following our recent updates about the ELevate project and your feedback, we’ve added one more upgrade path. You can now upgrade from CentOS Stream 9 to CentOS Stream 10 as a part of ELevate NG!
Read this blog post if you’re interested in helping with testing, contributing, or getting help!
