AlmaLinux patches flaw ahead of upstream Red Hat |
|
AlmaLinux OS is an open-source, community-driven project that is built from the source code of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). While AlmaLinux OS originally started out as an exact "bug for bug" clone of RHEL, once Red Hat put restrictions in place to make creating clones of its Enterprise Linux distributions, AlmaLinux changed course slightly. AlmaLinux now strives to create a binary compatible clone of RHEL, but it now also introduces its own bug fixes and improvements. In a first for the project, AlmaLinux has patched a vulnerability ahead of Red Hat. FOSS Force reports: "AlmaLinux, a three year old Linux distribution that started life as a clone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, on Tuesday announced that it had created a patch to fix CVE-2024-1086, a security vulnerability that Red Hat evidently doesn’t think is important enough to patch in RHEL right away." |
