Designated as Clonezilla Live 3.1.2-22, this version incorporates a recent kernel and <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5linux.com\/gparted-live-is-now-patched-against-the-xz-backdoor-powered-by-linux-kernel-6-7\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">guards the live system from the newest XZ backdoor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Clonezilla Live 3.1.2-22 is the second iteration of the <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5linux.com\/clonezilla-live-3-1-2-released-with-linux-kernel-6-6-lts-and-memtest86-7-00\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Clonezilla Live 3.1.2<\/a> series, mainly released as an emergency response to guard the live system against the recent <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5linux.com\/red-hat-warns-fedora-linux-40-41-and-rawhide-users-about-critical-security-flaw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">XZ backdoor<\/a>. This was accomplished by reducing the xz-utils package from the version 5.6.0 to version 5.4.5, which is not vulnerable to the backdoor. The earlier version could allow a remote hacker to violate the SSH server.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>As a result, it is advisable to remove the preceding Clonezilla Live 3.1.2-9 ISO from your system and use this updated version. This new version also includes a recent kernel, specifically Linux 6.7.9-2 from the Debian Sid repositories. The previous Clonezilla version utilized Linux kernel 6.6.11-1, hence the new kernel should provide enhanced hardware compatibility.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>In addition to these improvements, the Clonezilla Live 3.1.2-22 version introduces a new format for messages sent to <code>ocsmgrd<\/code>. It employs a comma (,) to segregate the messages, adds the <code>powermgmt-base<\/code> and <code>pdsh<\/code> utilities to the live system, and updates the <code>ezio<\/code> package to version 2.0.11.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>It also adds support for rotating Clonezilla-related log files and support for receiving new format messages from clients, fixes a bug that prevented messages from being sent to <code>ocsmgrd<\/code> in Bluetooth mode, and removes the <code>ip=<\/code> parameter from boot parameters due to a bug when creating a custom ISO using the <code>ocs-iso<\/code> utility.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>The <code>disable_sudo_use_pty<\/code> script was updated as well to negate it explicitly, not just comment it, which should avoid distortion of <code>gpm<\/code> with <code>jfbterm<\/code>. Of course, the underlying system was upgraded and it\u2019s synced with the Debian Sid repository as of April 8th, 2024.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Clonezilla Live 3.1.2-22 is available for download right now from the <a href=\"https:\/\/clonezilla.org\/clonezilla-live.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">official website<\/a> as live ISO images for 32-bit and 64-bit systems. Again, it is highly recommended that you use this new Clonezilla Live version for all your disk imaging or cloning tasks rather than any of the previous releases due to the XZ backdoor.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Last updated 7 hours ago<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steven Shiau unleashed a fresh edition of Clonezilla Live, his disk cloning\/imaging program premised on the formidable Clonezilla software.
