Urgent Security Update | APT Download Verification Bypass — Please Update Now

Dear deepin users and community members, A vulnerability has been discovered in APT, the package manager, that allows package integrity verification to be bypassed. Under specific conditions, an attacker positioned on the network path can substitute a package of their own making for one that has already passed verification, and have it executed with root privileges. Since APT is the component through which every system update passes, the impact of exploitation would be substantial. All users are advised to update as soon as possible.   Vulnerability details CVE ID: CVE-2026-109518 Description: When following an HTTP redirect, APT can merge two ...Read more

October Community Monthly Report | deepin 25 Security Updates & Community 7.3 Kernel Early Access Release

October Community Data Overview Community Products deepin 25 Security Updates: sudo Privilege-Escalation Vulnerability & Certificate Trust Chain Repair In October, two urgent security updates were rolled out for deepin 25. On October 12, deepin 25 patched the sudo time-window authorisation-bypass vulnerability (CVE-2026-96512, CVSS 7.8). This vulnerability stemmed from a validation defect in sudo's handling of time-window rules within sudoers. When parsing timestamps, sudo reads the calling process's TZ environment variable. A local user could set the time zone to an extreme offset to shift time windows by up to approximately 25 hours. This caused expired or not-yet-effective rules to be incorrectly evaluated as valid, enabling privilege escalation to root outside the intended time period. On October 21, deepin 25 remediated flaws in intermediate CA private keys ...Read more

Urgent Security Update: eMudhra Intermediate CA Key Leak (CVE-2026-111943) — Upgrade Now

Dear deepin users and community partners, Recently, the private keys of 8 intermediate CA certificates from the public CA organization eMudhra were confirmed to be compromised. The flaw stems from an implementation error when the CA generated keys — the private key can be recovered directly from the certificate itself. Anyone who obtains it can issue 'legitimate' TLS certificates and code-signing certificates for arbitrary domains, and these certificates chain to root certificates jointly trusted by mainstream browsers and operating systems. This update involves only one software package, 'ca-certificates'. Please upgrade as soon as possible.   Vulnerability Details Vulnerability ID: CVE-2026-111943 Description: Of the 8 affected intermediate certificates, 6 are TLS issuing certificates (DV / OV / EV TLS CA - G3B, G3C), chained to 'emSign Root TLS CA - G3'; 2 are code-signing certificates (EM OV CS CA - G3B, G3C), chained to 'emSign Root CS CA - G3'. In addition, there are cross-signed copies issued by Sectigo and chained to 'AAA Certificate Services'. Impact: An attacker holding these private keys, if positioned as a network man-in-the-middle, can conduct man-in-the-middle attacks against clients that do not check certificate revocation status — forging arbitrary websites and stealing or tampering with communications. Because these intermediate certificates have no records in Certificate Transparency (CT) logs, browsers that enforce CT validation (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) are not affected; however, components that use the system trust store, such as curl, wget, git, pip, apt, cannot learn the revocation information and will continue to trust these certificates. This must be fixed through this update. Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.1)   Scope of Impact All deepin 25 users who have not updated with this fix. It is recommended to update and upgrade immediately.   Fix Progress deepin 25: 'ca-certificates' has been upgraded to 20250419+deb13u1, following the Debian Security Team’s approach (Debian Bug 1151413): removing the two affected root certificates, 'emSign ECC Root CA - G3' and 'Comodo AAA Services root', from the system trust store, thereby cutting off the trust chains for the above 8 intermediate certificates and their cross-signed copies. Please update via Control Center, or use the terminal command upgrade: sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade This update does not require a system reboot. Restart running programs to load the updated trust store.   Note: Removing root certificates will also affect other normally issued certificates under those root certificates. Some sites may experience certificate validation failures. This is expected behavior and is consistent with the upstream handling by Debian, Mozilla NSS, and others.   That’s all for this update. Once again, thank you to every deepin community friend for your support!
