# [Tails 6.14.2](https://tails.net/news/version_6.14.2/index.en.html)

This release is an emergency release to fix security vulnerabilities in the
Linux kernel and the implementation of the Perl programming language.

# Changes and updates

  * Update _Linux_ to 6.1.133, which fixes [multiple security 
vulnerabilities](https://www.debian.org/security/2025/dsa-5900-1) that may lead 
to a privilege escalation or information leaks.

  * Update _perl_ to 5.36.0-7+deb12u2, which fixes a [heap-based buffer 
overflow vulnerability](https://www.debian.org/security/2025/dsa-5902-1), which 
may result in denial of service, or potentially the execution of arbitrary code.

For more details, read our
[changelog](https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/blob/master/debian/changelog).
