Please note: Due to the increased threat level by the high frequency of
discovered and exploitable security bugs, we are now shortening our
usual security update release cycle and will couple it mostly to newly
released kernel.org kernel versions. Since the kernel.org update
frequency of the Qlustar 13 kernel 5.15.x is a lot less than that for
the 6.12.x Qlustar 14 kernel, this means that we will also have security
releases covering only Qlustar 14. This is an example.
No non-security related updates/enhancements/bug fixes are included.
The Qlustar release 14.1.5.1 is ready including a number of security/bug
fixes. Please check the following web pages for details about security
fixes and special update instructions:
https://qlustar.com/qsa/2026/0714261
This update includes several security related package updates from
AlmaLinux only. In particular it includes fixes for the two critical
kernel bugs GhostLock CVE-2026-43499) and Januscape (CVE-2026-53359).
Note that Qlustar 14/Ubuntu already received fixes for both of these
with the release 14.1.5 from July 4th.
Important: The Qlustar 13 kernel 5.15.x is still vulnerable to both
GhostLock and Januscape. It seems kernel developers are heavily
overloaded and have decided to focus on the most recent LTS kernels for
security fixes. In the light of this, we highly recommend to update
Qlustar 13 systems to Qlustar 14 as soon as possible. Nevertheless, we
will provide patched Qlustar 13 kernels as soon as they are available
from upstream.
