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

Very annoying - the apparent author of the backdoor was in communication with me... | Hacker News
