This release is an emergency release to fix security vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel and the implementation of the Perl programming language.

Changes and updates

• Update Linux to 6.1.133, which fixes multiple security vulnerabilities that may lead to a privilege escalation or information leaks.

• Update perl to 5.36.0-7+deb12u2, which fixes a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability, which may result in denial of service, or potentially the execution of arbitrary code.

For more details, read our changelog.
