Debian GNU/Linux 11.2 “Bullseye” Released with 30 Security Updates and 64 Bug Fixes
The Debian Project announced today the general availability of Debian GNU/Linux 11.2 as the
second point release to the Debian GNU/Linux 11 “Bullseye” operating system series.
Debian GNU/Linux 11.2 is here more than two months after the release of Debian GNU/Linux
11.1 “Bullseye” as yet another up-to-date installation and live medium that incorporates
all the latest security updates and miscellaneous bug fixes released during this time for existing
users through the main software repositories.
In numbers, this second point release includes a total of 94 updated packages, split into
64 miscellaneous bug fixes and 30 security updates. What’s important to note here is
the fact that among the security updates included in Debian GNU/Linux 11.2, there’s a fix
for the infamous Log4j vulnerability.
As mentioned before, the security and bug fixes included in this point release are already
present in the Debian GNU/Linux 11 “Bullseye” repositories, which means that existing users
need only to keep their installations up to date by running the sudo apt update && sudo
apt dist-upgrade command to receive these updates.
“Please note that the point release does not constitute a new version of Debian 11
but only updates some of the packages included,” reads the release announcement. “There is
no need to throw away old bullseye media.” Live and installable ISO images for the Debian
GNU/Linux 11.2 point release will be available for download shortly from the official website.
I will update this article as soon as they become available, so make sure you bookmark
it and check it again in a few hours if you plan on installing a fresh Debian GNU/Linux
11 “Bullseye” system.
Installation images of Debian GNU/Linux 11.2 are now be downloaded from here for 64-bit

environments pre-installed for 64-bit and 32-bit systems

Debian 11.2 is here with security patches and bug fixes
Unlike its most advanced student, also known as Ubuntu, the developers behind this project
do not have a defined roadmap in time. They throw things when they have them ready, and,
after the launch of the previous point update which arrived at the beginning of October,
a few moments ago they have released Debian 11.2. As usual, Project Debian reminds us
not to go crazy with these releases, that is, it is not a totally new version of your
operating system.
This release took place over two months after Debian 11.1, and was released to us for cover
30 security flaws and fix 64 bugs. Among the security flaws that they have corrected there
is a very important one that many projects have to correct, and not only those related
to Linux, such as that of the log4j vulnerability2.
Debian 11.2 can be installed from the same operating system
The Debian Project is pleased to announce the second update to its stable Debian 11
distribution (codename bullseye). This one-off release mainly adds fixes for security issues,
along with some tweaks for serious issues. The safety notices have already been published
separately and are referenced when available.
Existing users can now install the Debian 11.2 packages from the software center or
from the terminal with the command sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade. For new facilities,
the new ISO is already the one with the numbering 11.2.
Debian 11 was released on August 14 and came with news such as the kernel Linux 5.10, GNOME
3.38 and Plasma 5.20 desktops, among others, supported until 2026 and other enhancements
such as native support for exFAT. They also took the opportunity to update the packages,
including GIMP 2.10.22, Vim 8.2, Python 3.9.1 and more than 59.000 other packages that will
improve, or rather, update the user experience when using the latest software.
