The Linux From Scratch community announces the release of LFS Version
11.0-rc3. It is a preliminary release of LFS-11.0.
This version of the Linux From Scratch book has been released due to a
critical security vulnerability in openssl. This vulnerability has been
fixed in LFS 11.0-rc3 by updating to the latest version: openssl-1.1.1l
(version 1.1.1 lower case L). Usage of LFS 11.0-rc1 or LFS 11.0-rc2 is
deemed unsafe and insecure.
In addition to the above, we took the opportunity to update several
other packages from the recent -rc releases to the latest stable
versions: e2fsprogs, meson, the linux kernel, util-linux, and libcap.
You can read the book online [0], or download [1] to read locally.
In coordination with this release, a new version of LFS using the
systemd package is also being released. This package implements the
newer systemd style of system initialization and control and is
consistent with LFS in most packages.
You can read the systemd version of the book online [2], or download [3]
to read locally.
Please direct any comments about this release to the LFS development
team at lfs-dev@lists.linuxfromscratch.org. Please note that
registration for the lfs-dev mailing list is required to avoid junk email.
