Debian GNU/Linux 9.5 "Stretch" Is Now Available with 100 Security Updates

The Debian Project announced today the release of the fifth maintenance update to the stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 “Stretch” operating system series.

Coming four months after the previous point release, Debian GNU/Linux 9.5 “Stretch” includes a total of 100 security update and 91 miscellaneous bugfixes for various core components and applications. However, this remains a point release and doesn’t represent a new version of the Debian GNU/Linux 9 “Stretch” operating system series, which continues to be updated every day.

“This point release mainly adds corrections for security issues, along with a few adjustments for serious problems. Security advisories have already been published separately and are referenced where available. Please note that the point release does not constitute a new version of Debian 9 but only updates some of the packages included,” reads today’s announcement.
