Valve has released today a new Beta version of the SteamOS operating system that the company is using on Steam Machines. The new update was pushed to the brewmaster_beta channel and it’s versioned as SteamOS 2.110.

As many you are aware, SteamOS is derived from the Debian GNU/Linux operating system, on which the popular Ubuntu OS is also based. Debian Project recently released the seventh maintenance update to the Debian Jessie stable series, Debian GNU/Linux 8.7, and Valve rebased its SteamOS gaming distribution on the new Debian release.

As such, the SteamOS 2.0 Build 110 Beta update adds over 170 security patches and bug fixes for numerous internal components, including but not limited to Bash (fixes CVE-2016-0634 and CVE-2016-7543), BIND9 (fixes CVE-2016-9131, CVE-2016-9147, and CVE-2016-9444), Cairo (fixes CVE-2016-9082), and GnuTLS 2.8 (fixes CVE-2016-7444).
