@_adriend_ @Naouakfr Just one small correction: we are still based on RedHat, we just build from the same place that RedHat does.

@Naouakfr @AlmaLinux Rocky c'est une recompil des paquets de Red Hat (et pas très légale d'ailleurs...) Donc tant que Red Hat n'a pas corrigé, Rocky ne sera pas corrigé ! Alma c'est différent : ils se basent sur CentOS Stream et appliquent leurs fix de sécu, donc ça va plus ou moins vite ça dépend.

Copy Fail (CVE-2026-31431) est patché chez @AlmaLinux ! Mettez à jour et rebootez ! - 8: errata.almalinux.org/8/ALSA-2026-A0… - 9: errata.almalinux.org/9/ALSA-2026-A0… - 10: errata.almalinux.org/10/ALSA-2026-A… RHEL toujours vulnérable (et Rocky aussi vu que c'est bug 1:1 et donc security 1:1 ?)

Amaze amaze amaze! In honor of National Space Day, check out these images from @ESO's VLT and VLT Survey Telescope. (They both use AlmaLinux!) 🔭
