= Errata for the 6.1.1 Version of the LFS Book =

== Known Security Vulnerabilities ==
 * A buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in the `sprintf' function of Perl-5.8.7. Details can be found [http://www.perlfoundation.org/news/2005/sprintf_patch_released.html here], and it is recommended to apply this [http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/downloads/perl/perl-5.8.7-sprintf_vulnerability-1.patch patch].

== Miscellaneous Errata ==
 * Compiling gcc-3.4.3 while running a 2.6.12 or later kernel will result in testsuite failures due to a new kernel feature. This  [http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/downloads/gcc/gcc-3.4.3-pch-1.patch patch] will fix the issue.

 * Tcl's configure script has a syntax error. Correct it by executing this sed command right before running configure:

sed -i "s/relid'/relid/" configure

 * The Module-Init-Tools instructions contain a tar command for unpacking the testsuite tarball. The tar command has a {{{--strip-path=1}}} option - this in incorrect. The correct option is {{{--strip-components=1}}}.
