For some time we have been working on a new application to document security 
advisories for packages in LFS and BLFS.  Originally we had been putting these into a 
simple list on the website.

I would like to announce a new application that makes viewing and searching for 
security issues easier:

   https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/advisories/

These advisories are meant to provide information about the severity of issues that 
upstream developers have fixed and provide rationale for users to decide when to 
upgrade packages on their systems.

As you may know, there have been an inordinate number of security issues that have 
been identified since LFS/BLFS 13.0 were published on March 5th.  As of today we have 
181 advisories in the system.  More will be added as packages are added to the 
development versions of the books.

I hope you find this new application useful.
