Linux Debian 10.4 released

Debian 10.4 has been released, the fourth stable update to Debian 10. This release provides stable package updates with a focus on security fixes and other general bug fixes.

Some updates include:

Kernel version update and kernel ABI upgrade to 4.19.0-9

Upgrade ClamAV to newer version

Fix LibreOffice OpenGL switching issue

Disable support for NCBI-Blast

Upgrade to the latest NVIDIA graphics drivers and an extensive security update

Security updates range from Firefox to Python to Chromium

…

A specific security vulnerability in libssh is fixed in the new version. Both libssh versions before 0.8.9 and 0.9.4 are affected. This vulnerability can cause a complete crash of the client or server if the connection is not fully initialized and the system attempts to clean up.

The gplaycli package for the command-line Google Play downloader has also been removed due to changes in the Google API that caused Debian 10.4 to remove it. Due to API changes, Getlive, which was used to extract emails from Hotmail accounts, has also been removed in this version. Other dropped software include kernelloops, libmicrodns, libperlspeak-perl, torbirdy, ugene and Yahoo2Mbox.
