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.

Regards,

Matt.
