Subject: Backdoor in xz 5.6 (CVE-2024-3094)
Date: Sat, 30 Mar 2024 03:43:56 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <D06GF6BT0KLN.1D3WQGKT9K8D1@loang.net> (raw)
Hello, friends,
There has been report of backdoor in upstream xz 5.6.0 and 5.6.1:
https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2024/03/29/4
I have carried out rolling back to the nixpkgs channel
before the package xz was upgraded to version 5.6
as the best-effort mitigation for loang.net.
If the system was compromized and the attacker(s) covered their track
well enough, their would not be any sign. Either way,
I am NOT a security expert to detect such unauthorized access
and planted malwares.
Please also be advised to stop any system with the affected library,
including your personal computer.
