Version 2.6.0 fixes the following security issues:
* CVE-2025-66471 / GHSA-2xpw-w6gg-jr37 [1]:
Fixed a security issue where streaming API could improperly handle
highly compressed HTTP content ("decompression bombs") leading to
excessive resource consumption even when a small amount of data was
requested. Reading small chunks of compressed data is safer and much
more efficient now.
* CVE-2025-66418 / GHSA-gm62-xv2j-4w53 [2]:
Fixed a security issue where an attacker could compose an HTTP
response with virtually unlimited links in the Content-Encoding header,
potentially leading to a denial of service (DoS) attack by exhausting
system resources during decoding. The number of allowed chained
encodings is now limited to 5.
2.6.0 also contains the removal of a deprecated but apparently still
widely used API. 2.6.1 reintroduces this API. [3]

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
