Updated Debian 12: 12.7 released

August 31st, 2024

The Debian project is pleased to announce the seventh update of its stable distribution Debian 12 (codename bookworm). 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 12 but only updates some of the packages included. There is no need to throw away old bookworm media. After installation, packages can be upgraded to the current versions using an up-to-date Debian mirror.

Those who frequently install updates from security.debian.org won't have to update many packages, and most such updates are included in the point release.

New installation images will be available soon at the regular locations.

Upgrading an existing installation to this revision can be achieved by pointing the package management system at one of Debian's many HTTP mirrors. A comprehensive list of mirrors is available at:

https://www.debian.org/mirror/list

Secure Boot and other operating systems

Users who boot other operating systems on the same hardware, and who have Secure Boot enabled, should be aware that shim 15.8 (included with Debian 12.7) revokes signatures across older versions of shim in the UEFI firmware. This may leave other operating systems using shim before 15.8 unable to boot.

Affected users can temporarily disable Secure Boot before updating other operating systems.
