ssh(1): validation of shell metacharacters in user names supplied on the command-line was performed too late to prevent some situations where they could be expanded from %-tokens in ssh_config. For certain configurations, such as those that use a "%u" token in a "Match exec" block, an attacker who can control the user name passed to ssh(1) could potentially execute arbitrary shell commands. Reported by Florian Kohnhäuser. We continue to recommend against directly exposing ssh(1) and other tools' command-lines to untrusted input. Mitigations such as this cannot be absolute given the variety of shells and user configurations in use. sshd(8): when matching an authorized_keys principals="" option against a list of principals in a certificate, an incorrect algorithm was used that could allow inappropriate matching in cases where a principal name in the certificate contains a comma character.

Adds release based on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS 'Resolute' for best support of new hardware; the prior release Rescuezilla 2.6.1 (2025-07-16) left the default release using Ubuntu 24.10 'Oracular' which only provided hardware support to circa October 2024, despite it introducing a release based on Ubuntu 25.04 'Plucky'; adds release based on the end-of-life Ubuntu 25.10 'Questing' as a backfill; fixed blank error message window displayed after cloning (even on success), which causes the cancellation of the post-operation shutdown/restart request; fixed graphical shutdown menu not opening on the 'Plucky variant due to missing item in custom rules file for Polkit authentication manager; upgraded to latest Partclone 0.3.47; temporarily disables the 32-bit (Intel i386) build based on Ubuntu 18.04 'Bionic'; temporarily disables older 64-bit build based on Ubuntu 22.04 'Jammy', Ubuntu 24.04 'Noble' and Ubuntu 25.04 'Plucky'.

The old behavior (RakuOS Linux 43): On every image update, your overlay was wiped. The system blocked at a black screen or Plymouth while all your packages were reinstalled from scratch. No network? No usable system. This was especially painful for laptop users on spotty Wi-Fi. The new behavior (RakuOS Linux 44): Your overlay is kept intact across image updates your apps stay installed and usable immediately after reboot. Package database rebuilding now happens silently in the background after you log in Desktop notifications keep you informed of rebuild progress. No network on boot? The system handles it gracefully, defers the rebuild to your next boot with a notification explaining what happened, and retries automatically for functions that require network. Image updates are now fully offline no internet connection required after an image update is installed. The RPM database merge and package list reconciliation work entirely from what's already on disk.

New users getting started with 7.3.0 will be greeted by a completely redesigned onboarding wizard that gets your server configured and ready in about three minutes. It walks you through server name, time zone, language, SSH access, theme, boot method selection, and plugin installation in a clean step-by-step interface, with a summary screen to review everything before it's applied. The boot method choice (USB/Flash Drive or Internal Boot) is built directly into the flow, so new users encounter it from day one rather than discovering it later buried in settings. Existing users switching to Internal Boot can access the same wizard under Tools, Onboarding Wizard. This release includes several security fixes. Upgrade is recommended. The 7.3 kernel patches two local privilege escalation vulnerabilities: Copy Fail (CVE-2026-31431) and Dirty Frag (CVE-2025-43284), the latter previously addressed in 7.2.6. Users upgrading from 7.2.5 or earlier get both fixes in one update.
