The Debian project is pleased to announce the fifth update of its stable

distribution Debian 10 (codename "buster"). 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.

This point release also addresses Debian Security Advisory: DSA-4735-1

grub2 -- security update [1] which covers multiple CVE issues regarding

the GRUB2 UEFI SecureBoot 'BootHole' vulnerability [2].

Please note that the point release does not constitute a new version of

Debian 10 but only updates some of the packages included. There is no

need to throw away old "buster" 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:
