HEADS UP - the tarball format changed. *.tar.xz is no longer available, it has to be *.tar.gz.

Fixes CVE-2017-13089 CVE-2017-13090 CVE-2017-6508 - following the links for the first two of those, if you connect to a malicious server it can execute arbitrary code on your machine. The last allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTTP headers via CRLF sequences in the host subcomponent of a URL.

Replying to renodr:

Correct. There is also a *.tar.lz - tar will try to use something called 'lzip' to process that, so not usable in BLFS.
