Hi LUGers,
From Distrowatch.com:
The Ubuntu <https://distrowatch.com/ubuntu> release team has announced
the release of both Ubuntu 16.04.7 and 18.04.5. These releases offer up
to date install media with package fixes rather than entirely new
versions of the distribution. The new media includes fixes for the
recent Boothole GRUB boot loader issue: "Similar to the 16.04.6 point
release, 16.04.7 is a security-targeted release for the purpose of
providing updated installation media which protects new installations
from the recently discovered GRUB 2 vulnerabilities (USN-4432-1).
Detailed information about USN-4432-1 can be found here
<https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-4432-1>."
There are several flavors currently offered and all run around 2 GB
in size.
Bobbie Sellers - who had 175 updates this AM on her rolling release
to accomplish much the same thing.
