## Important: This release was recalled
**Warning**
Due to reported availability issues, this release is being recalled. The root cause has been identified and addressed.
## Release Summary
This release represents an update to the 10th 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**
+ **AL2023 kernel-headers \$1 kernel6.12-headers \$1 kernel6.18-headers: **A bug in the kernel-headers package was fixed where it included extra files `(/usr/include/bpf/*` and `/usr/include/cpufreq.h)` that already existed in kernel-libbpf-devel and kernel-tools-devel. This overlap caused kernel namespace upgrades to fail. The conflicting files have been removed from kernel-headers to resolve the issue.
**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/).
