Microsoft is out today with their newest monthly update to their in-house Linux distribution, Azure Linux, with all available package and security updates through this month's Patch Tuesday.

Azure Linux 3.0.20250311 released today and adds many package updates, many of which were done in the name of security fixes to address outstanding CVEs. Many packages from its Linux 6.6 LTS kernel to Curl, InfluxDB, Containerd, Node.js, and dozens of other packages were updated to take care of various CVEs.

Azure Linux 3.0.20250311 also brings a number of Perl and Python updates, enabling the text user interface (TUI) for perf, adding signed packages for the edk2-hvloader and kernel-mshv packages, and a variety of other upgrades.
