Tails 7.10.1 patches CVE-2026-645

TAILS 7.10.1 was released on August 5, 2026, addressing two critical vulnerabilities: CVE-2026-64560 in the Linux kernel and security flaws in the expat XML library. The Linux kernel flaw allows privilege escalation through a use-after-free bug, which could lead to loss of user anonymity. The expat library update affects applications like LibreOffice and Git, where crafted files could potentially grant admin access to attackers. Additionally, this version includes improvements in startup time and reduced file sizes. Users are advised to update immediately for enhanced security.
