What's new in ML Runtimes version 2025.09.1

Review the major features and updates for ML Runtimes.

New Features/Improvements

CVE fixes: This major release includes numerous improvements related to Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVE).
Freshline Runtimes: Freshline Runtimes are a new variant of ML Runtimes designed for users who prioritize the latest software with fewer security vulnerabilities:
Unlike our other runtimes, which are built on Ubuntu LTS (Long-Term Support) releases, Freshline Runtimes use the newest interim (non-LTS) Ubuntu releases.
- Benefit: These runtimes offer a significantly lower number of security vulnerabilities since they are based on a more recent base image.
- Drawback: The support window for non-LTS Ubuntu images is much shorter. To address this, Cloudera will upgrade the base Ubuntu image every six months, which may introduce breaking changes. Additionally, we may introduce other breaking changes to these images in any Runtime release, regardless of a base image upgrade.
  note
  Cloudera will only provide support and fixes for the most recent Freshline Runtime releases. We cannot guarantee multi-year support for older versions of Freshline Runtimes, so you must stay current to receive the latest updates.

A new Edition, called Freshline, has been added to the Runtime Catalog page.
