  • Microsoft released an updated version of Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to address a yet-to-be-public security vulnerability.
  • The update, WSL 2.5.10, was released in advance of the public disclosure of the vulnerability, which is scheduled for August 12 (Patch Tuesday).
  • The commit for WSL 2.5.10 includes changes to how WSLg handles VM ID, removing reliance on an environment variable and other code optimizations.
  • This marks the first time Microsoft has released a WSL update before publicly disclosing the associated CVE details.
