Debian 13.7 ships the fixes behind 92 security advisories, updates 106 packages

Debian 13.7 'trixie' point release bundles 92 security advisories and 106 package updates, including kernel, glibc, u-boot and qemu fixes.

Debian shipped version 13.7 of 'trixie', folding in 92 previously published security advisories and corrections to 106 source packages, including six Linux kernel advisories (DSA-6381, DSA-6393, DSA-6405, DSA-6415, DSA-6466, DSA-6477). glibc fixes a buffer overflow (CVE-2026-5928) and buffer underflow (CVE-2026-5450), with 17 packages rebuilt against the updated library; qemu carries 25 CVEs including a secure boot bypass (CVE-2026-16288), imagemagick 24, wolfssl 15 and perl 13. Boot-chain fixes include a u-boot FIT image verification bypass (CVE-2026-46728), a BOOTP/DHCP buffer overread (CVE-2024-42040), and corrected intermediate certificate verification in sbsigntool. The installer was rebuilt with kernel ABI 6.12.107+deb13, and existing systems receive the fixes through normal package mirror updates.

Mozilla Revokes Firefox and Thunderbird Linux Signing Key After Key Lands in Private Repo

Mozilla revoked the Firefox and Thunderbird Linux RPM signing subkey after an unencrypted copy landed in a private repo; no unauthorized access found.

Mozilla revoked the OpenPGP signing subkey (fingerprint 09BE ED63 F346 2A2D FFAB 3B87 5ECB 6497 C1A2 0256) used for Firefox and Thunderbird Linux downloads after an unencrypted copy was committed to one of its private repositories, citing reason code 2, 'key material has been compromised.' Audit records showed no sign of unauthorized access, and a replacement subkey (827E 6586 0867 9618 CD34 9F93 678E 455D 7676 7AA3) valid until August 5, 2028 was published. Users who verify signatures manually or install from Mozilla RPM packages may need to import the new key and remove the old one. The rotation came roughly seven months ahead of Mozilla's usual two-year subkey cycle.
