5 Today's Libreboot 20241206 revision is the 10th revision in the Libreboot
6 20241206 stable release series. The changelog on this page is written, relative
7 to Libreboot 20241206 revision 9 which was released on 12 February 2025.
8 The *original* Libreboot 20241206 release came out on 6 December 2024. You
9 can find the full list of revisions [here](libreboot20241206.Revisions.md)

12 Open source BIOS/UEFI firmware

17 Libreboot is a free/open source BIOS/UEFI replacement on x86 and ARM, providing
18 boot firmware that initialises the hardware in your computer, to then load an
19 operating system (e.g. Linux/BSD). It is specifically
20 a *[coreboot distribution](../docs/maintain/)*,
21 in the same way that Debian is a Linux distribution. It provides an automated
22 build system to produce coreboot ROM images with a variety of payloads such as
23 GRUB or SeaBIOS, with regular well-tested releases to make coreboot as easy
24 to use as possible for non-technical users. From a project management perspective,
25 this works in *exactly* the same way as a Linux distro, providing a source-based
26 package manager (called lbmk) which patches sources and compiles coreboot images.
27 It makes use of [coreboot](https://www.coreboot.org/) for hardware initialisation,
28 and then a payload such as [SeaBIOS](https://www.seabios.org/SeaBIOS)
29 or [GRUB](https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/) to boot your operating
30 system; on ARM(chromebooks), we provide *U-Boot* (as a coreboot payload).
31
32 We also provide an experimental U-Boot setup on x86, as a coreboot payload for
33 providing a minimal UEFI implementation.

35 ### Regarding revision 10
36
37 Normally, revisions would only be documented on
38 the [Libreboot 20241206 revisions page](libreboot20241206.Revisions.md), but
39 this revision contains *critical security fixes*, so it was decided that there
40 should be a full announcement, to ensure that more people see it.
41
42 Summarised list of changes
43 ------------------------
44
45 ### Revision updates
46
47 GRUB released *73 patches* to its main branch, fixing a large number of
48 security issues. You can read about them here:
49
50 <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2025-02/msg00024.html>
51
52 This updates GRUB to revision `4dc6166571645780c459dde2cdc1b001a5ec844c`
53 from 18 February 2025. Several OOB heap writes, buffer overflows, use after
54 frees and so on, are now prevented with this update.
55
56 ### Feature changes
57
58 In addition to the security fixes, several out-of-tree fixes from Libreboot's
59 main branch have been merged for GRUB, fixing bugs in the xHCI driver, and
60 adding support for non-root USB2 hubs on platforms that use the `xhci` GRUB
61 tree.
62
63 ### Configuration changes
64
65 Changes to the GRUB configuration have been made, to make scanning of LVM
66 volume/group names more reliable, including on full-disk-encryption setups.
67 More such changes are planned for the next major release; the current changes
68 are very minor.
