The Debian project is pleased to announce the fifth update of its stable distribution Debian 9 (codename stretch). 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 9 but only updates some of the packages included. There is no need to throw away old stretch media. After installation, packages can be upgraded to the current versions using an up-to-date Debian mirror.
I’m not a fan of publishing items for every single distribution release – other sites do that way better than I ever could – but there are a few distributions I do try to keep up with, and considering just how fundamental Debian is to many popular Linux distributions, it’s always been an exception.
