%general-entities; ]> In the 11.3 release, --enable-default-pie and --enable-default-ssp are enabled for GCC. These techniques can mitigate some malicious attacks, but they do not provide perfect security. If you are reading LFS and a programming textbook, you may need to disable PIE and SSP with the GCC options -fno-pie -no-pie -fno-stack-protection, because some textbooks assume these options are disabled by default. Here is a list of the packages updated since the previous release of LFS.
