As far as I know, as of today (10/19), there is no ROM available which updates this phone to fix the KRACK vulnerability. LineageOS has a fix that was just created a day or two ago, but the official LineageOS download for the N5X is a weekly which was last built on 10/16 (before the fix was available) and won't be updated until Monday, 10/23. No other ROMs have incorporated the fix either. So, is there any way to get the fix earlier than 10/23, other than building Lineage from scratch?

By LOS, I mean LineageOS.
I have noticed that it is not getting a nightly build over a month since LOS 16.1 was released. I guess this is because N7's official LOS version is 14.1 and LOS does not provide updates for versions that is more than 1-major-version older. (That is, they currently only updates LOS 16.0 and LOS 15.1)
One could think that N7 skips LOS 15.1 and get LOS 16, but my question is, was there any such precedent case for any other device? If not and N7 has been abandoned by LOS for good, I would probably have to abandon LOS and get some other custom ROMs for N7.
I don't know the answer to your specific question but I have installed an unofficial LineageOS 15.1 for Nexus 7 2013 with the latest (March) security updates.

I'm really pleased overall. Seems snappier and more battery efficient as compared to 14.1. Everything works apart from I have no compass, but I think this might be a hardware problem (not sure as I didn't check before updating). Obviously with it being unofficial there are no OTA updates and I'll have to keep an eye out for any new updates and do it manually. I did try a Pie rom but it seemed laggy and buggy.

No but there is really no difference as I do not change anything but if there is anything wrong I probably could not fix it. Remember RR is bases on lineageOS so as thy have an official Rom bugs get quashed quite quickly and i think RR devs do the same. I do monitor both of these.

Unofficial Builds Honor 5x 15.1 by @wileyc

A note by @wileyc
These builds are created every Saturday night from a 100% unaltered LineageOS repository, which is synchronized with upstream every day. I must stress that there are NO MODIFICATIONS at all; if it worked/didn't work in the last official Cyanogenmod/LineageOS releases, it works/doesn't work in my builds. At Apple we called these "sustaining builds" -- they keep devices in sync with the latest security patches, but receive no new features.
with android 16.0 a device as with 2gb ram started hanging. Even with the These Zram Compression Tweaks , this device still wasn't performing optimally. Wiley already creating ROMs for many other lineageOs devices for prior generations. So I, had asked him for same if that can be done with HONOR 5x also. And he did that. And as from community i am very thankful to him.
Notes: This flashing procedure is same. If you are coming from any other ROM clean flash is needed. And obvisouly latest gapps.
Please do not ask anything in official to official lineageOs thread. And neither do I or Wiley will be looking at any error. These are builds are coming directly from lineageOs sources.

All this is happening because of @wileyc. Please consider donating him. He is paying from his own money. We as community should be thankful to him for what he is doing all of us.

Afaik yes.
Hi,
I was wondering if security updates were roll out by LineageOS or the developper of the device.
For instance, if I want to install an unofficial rom, do the security updates will come thanks to the dev of the rom or LineageOS ?

There are several components. LineageOS contains proprietary components from device manufacturer. Its dev's job to include latest "blobs". Also the kernel is most probably home brewn by your dev. All other components come upstream from lineageOS and get their security patches there each month. Dev has just to synch.
I'm looking for the latest LineageOS 15.1 [Oreo] build.
I thought about building it myself but that exact version source code is not available either.
I was unaware anyone needed it? There you go: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=287034
and sources should be exact same if I remember correctly
but I wouldn't recommend it as 15.1 is outdated and behind with all the progress we had later on
Thanks a lot
