chris, How to quickly check if your #linux system may be affected by the recent XZ utils supply chain backdoor. Open your terminal, enter:
xz --version
bad: versions 5.6.0 or 5.6.1
ok: 5.4.6.The malicious code could affect sshd authentification (CVE-2024-3094). Updates and downgrades for SuSE, Fedora, Kali and other distros are available.
Pop!_OS or Debian stable versions are not affected but it never hurts to double-check.
