AWS linux documentation change
Summary
Updated package support timelines including new versions (Clamav1.5, Corretto 25, Kernel6.18, LLVM19/20, Node.js24, PHP8.5), adjusted dates, and added package entries. Updated 'current as of' timestamp from 2025-09-16 to 2026-02-24.
Security assessment
Changes update security support end dates and add new package versions' lifecycle information, but no concrete evidence of addressing specific vulnerabilities or exploits. The modifications are routine documentation maintenance of support timelines rather than reactive security fixes.
