AWS dlami: Expand unpatched CVE warning to PyTorch 2.9-2.12 DLAMIs

Service: dlami · 2026-09-27 · Documentation medium

File: dlami/latest/devguide/appendix-ami-release-notes.md

Summary

Broadened the notice about unpatched CVEs from PyTorch 2.9 to versions 2.9 through 2.12, updated migration recommendation to PyTorch 2.13+, and added Ubuntu Pro base GPU AMI release note links.

Security assessment

Documents that certain PyTorch DLAMI versions contain unpatched CVEs and advises migrating to PyTorch 2.13+; this is security guidance rather than a fix for a specific vulnerability, and no CVE ID is given.

Evidence

PyTorch DLAMIs for versions 2.9 through 2.12 (that is, PyTorch 2.9, 2.10, 2.11, and 2.12) contain known common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) that cannot be patched. Because we maintain a separate DLAMI currency release for each PyTorch version, we do not backport security fixes to these images.
