This release is an emergency release to fix a security vulnerability in
_sudo_.

You should upgrade as soon as possible.

# Changes and updates

## Included software

* Update _sudo_ to 1.8.27-1+deb10u2, which fixes CVE-2021-3156, a major vulnerability that allows normal users to gain root privileges.

# Known issues

None specific to this release.

See the list of [long-standing
issues](https://tails.boum.org/support/known_issues/index.en.html).

# Get Tails 4.15.1

## To upgrade your Tails USB stick and keep your persistent storage

* Automatic upgrades are available from Tails 4.2 or later to 4.15.1.

* If you cannot do an automatic upgrade or if Tails fails to start after an automatic upgrade, please try to do a [manual upgrade](https://tails.boum.org/doc/upgrade/index.en.html#manual).

## To install Tails on a new USB stick

Follow our installation instructions:

* [Install from Windows](https://tails.boum.org/install/win/index.en.html)
* [Install from macOS](https://tails.boum.org/install/mac/index.en.html)
* [Install from Linux](https://tails.boum.org/install/linux/index.en.html)

The Persistent Storage on the USB stick will be lost if you install instead of
upgrading.

4.15.1 directly:
