    From R Daneel Olivaw@Danny@hyperspace.vogon.gov to alt.os.linux.suse on Sat Mar 30 10:59:40 2024
    From Newsgroup: alt.os.linux.suse

    According to https://news.opensuse.org/2024/03/29/xz-backdoor/ a
    backdoor was present in the xz project from 7 March to 28 March. The
    rogue xz introduced a backdoor into the SSH daemon, exploitable if SSH
    "is exposed to the internet".

    "openSUSE MicroOS" is also affected.

    "SUSE Linux Enterprise" is not affected.
    openSUSE Leap is not affected either.

    I'm running the current version of Leap, my xz level is 5.2.3.
    The bad versions are xz-5.6.0 and xz-5.6.1

    has more on the background.
