Kali Linux 2024.2 Download links -
Kali Linux 2024.2 has been released two days back. Though i was quite busy, few of our readers reminded me about our site that its been so long since we had seen you 😄 and you were available during prior releases, asking what's impressions on newly released Kali linux version 2024.2 ~ Anyway that might be true though that i last wrote post when previous version was released! While i'm yet to fully test this latest version of kali linux, posting direct download links for your reference, so incase if someone wants to try you can give it a try..
But, before that i guess you know there has been a vulnerability (i would rather say, backdoor) found on one of the library xz-utils that is part of linux ecosystem. So, incase if you have updated your system between march 26 - March 29 at least update that package even if you dont update to this latest version of Kali Linux 2024.2.
Through a series of complex obfuscations, the liblzma build process extracts a prebuilt object file from a disguised test file existing in the source code, which is then used to modify specific functions in the liblzma code. This results in a modified liblzma library that can be used by any software linked against this library, intercepting and modifying the data interaction with this library.

How to check whether you are affected by xz-utils?
We already have official documentation for easier reference. I'm posting the steps here for our reference.
kali@kali:~$ apt-cache policy liblzma5
liblzma5:
Installed: 5.4.5-0.3
Candidate: 5.6.1+really5.4.5-1
Version table:
5.6.1+really5.4.5-1 500
500 http://kali.download/kali kali-rolling/main amd64 Packages
*** 5.4.5-0.3 100
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
If we see the version 5.6.0-0.2 next to Installed: then we must upgrade to the latest version, 5.6.1+really5.4.5-1 as per official blog. We can do this with the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y --only-upgrade liblzma5
i bet you already know, how to run the above command, if you had forgot then let me remind you, terminal is your friend!
