@howtophil it is and should be a wake up call for open source community. It's all based on trust.

#xz #libzma #backdoor #security #cve #CVE20243094

@howtophil it has nothing to do with stable or unstable builds (builds of what exactly?). It was a stable release of xz. There are rolling-release distributions and packaging systems that would have just pulled it in. And that's exactly what happened.

And which system do you mean? Nobody maintaining the package for Debian, Fedora, Kali, openSUSE found it. It was a random guy from Microsoft that randomly discovered it - not the "system".

Everything I know about the XZ backdoor

Please note: This is being updated in real-time. The intent is to make sense of lots of simultaneous discoveries

A Backdoor in XZ Utils was found!
To know if you are affected rune:
xz -V in your terminal
if like me you have XZ 5.6.0 or XZ 5.6.1 downgrade XZ Utils to an earlier version, such as 5.4.6 (Stable) or disable ssh
