Folks, findutils-4.2.22 was released on ftp://alpha.gnu.org yesterday. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-findutils/2005-06/msg00097.html has the announcement including a description of a security vulnerability in 4.2.20 related to use of the '-L' option. http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=13381 has the history of the bug. I'm thinking of waiting for the official release before releasing LFS-6.1, rather than extracting the patch and updating the book's instructions.
