Oracle Linux 9 Update 1 for the 64-bit Intel and AMD (x86_64) and 64-bit Arm (aarch64) platforms is generally available today. This release is 100% application binary compatible with corresponding Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 Update 1 release. This Oracle Linux 9 release includes the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 7 (UEK R7). UEK R7 is based on the upstream Linux Kernel 5.15 and is supported on both Oracle Linux 9 and Oracle Linux 8.

The x86_64 ISO is packaged with the following kernel options:

• UEK R7, kernel-uek-5.15.0-3.60.5.1.el9uek.x86_64
• Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK), kernel-5.14.0-162.6.1.el9_1.x86_64

The aarch64 ISO is packaged with the following kernel:

• UEK R7, kernel-uek-5.15.0-3.60.5.1.el9uek.aarch64

Oracle Linux 9 Update 1 is the first of a series of updated releases for Oracle Linux 9, announced on June 30, 2022.

Oracle Linux 9 Update 1 reintroduces Application Stream modules and includes bug and security fixes, and feature updates. The most important changes are in the areas of security and development tools.

Security

• OpenSSH supports setting the minimum RSA key length; this update enables you to set minimum RSA key lengths for OpenSSH servers and clients.
• crypto-policies enforce the OpenSSH 2048-bit RSA key length minimum by default; the system-wide cryptographic policies enforce the 2048-bit minimum key length for RSA by default. OpenSSH failing connections with an Invalid key length error message indicates that you need to use longer RSA keys.
• OpenSSL option supports SHA-1 for signatures; by default, OpenSSL 3.0 does not support SHA-1 for signature creation and verification. Backwards compatibility with Oracle Linux 8 systems that still use SHA-1 for signatures can be achieved through the rh-allow-sha1-signatures configuration option.
• keylime package is available; keylime is a tool for attestation of remote systems by using trusted platform module (TPM) technology.

Development Tools

• New module streams are available for the following:
  • php: 8.1
  • ruby: 3.1
  • maven: 3.8
  • nodejs: 18
• httpd has been rebased to version 2.4.53 and includes httpd-core package. This new package contains the httpd binary file with all essential files.
