Coming less than three months after the Debian GNU/Linux 10.4 update, Debian GNU/Linux 10.5 is here as an up-to-date installation media for the Debian GNU/Linux 10 ‘Buster’ operating system series that includes all the important corrections and security updates released through the official repositories during this time. Debian GNU/Linux 10.5 includes a total of 101 updated packages that contained miscellaneous bug fixes, as well as 62 security updates that address latest vulnerabilities. As expected, mitigations for the recent BootHole vulnerability discovered in the GRUB2 bootloader are also present in this update.
