## Release Summary
<a name="release-summary-2023.9.20251027"></a>

This release represents an update to the 9th quarterly release of AL2023. AL2023 is the next generation of Amazon Linux. It comes with five years of support and brings features such as deterministic updates and better optimizations for Graviton processors into Amazon Linux. AL2023 is ready for production workloads, and you can start migrating from previous versions of Amazon Linux today.

**Notable updates**
+  `sssd-2.9.4-1.amzn2023.0.3` will now disable the `an2ln` Kerberos plugin in SSSD localauth configuration to prevent unexpected principal mappings (CVE-2025-11561) 
+  p7zip is no longer maintained upstream and has been replaced by 7zip to mitigate several high importance CVEs. Upgrading to the latest version of p7zip will replace it with 7zip-standalone which provides the same functionality. 
+  The package apr-util-lmdb has been added as a replacement for the package apr-util-bdb. 

**Security updates**
+ For information on the CVEs addressed in this release, see the [ Amazon Linux Security Center](https://alas.aws.amazon.com/alas2023.html).
+ For visibility into the status of CVEs that haven't been addressed yet, see the [ Amazon Linux Security Center](https://explore.alas.aws.amazon.com/).
