Amazon Linux 2023 version 2023.9.20251014 release notes

These are the release notes for Amazon Linux 2023 (AL2023) version 2023.9.20251014.

Release Summary

This release represents an update to the 9th 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

  • Per this release note, ClamAV 1.4 (the clamav1.4 RPM package) is now the default version in Amazon Linux 2023. Any dnf commands to install, update, or upgrade clamav will automatically use clamav1.4

  • As part of the remediation for CVE-2025-46818, the Lua functions getfenv, setfenv, and newproxy have been deprecated by default for Redis6 and Valkey. If these functions are necessary to your workflow, the option lua-enable-deprecated-api can be set to enable them.

  • Removed .so files from xmlrpc-c:

    • xmlrpc-c-1.51.08-2.amzn2023.0.2 Dropped bundled expat in favor of relying on the system libxml2 for xml parsing capabilities. However this means that the associated .so files from the bundled expat were removed:

      • 0120777 root:root /usr/lib64/libxmlrpc_xmlparse.so.3

      • 0100755 root:root /usr/lib64/libxmlrpc_xmlparse.so.3.51

      • 0120777 root:root /usr/lib64/libxmlrpc_xmltok.so.3

      • 0100755 root:root /usr/lib64/libxmlrpc_xmltok.so.3.51
