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.
