Ars Technica: Backdoor found in widely used Linux utility breaks encrypted SSH connections

Is this anything we need to be worried about?

Backdoor found in widely used Linux utility breaks encrypted SSH connections

[Olli]

there’s already an existing topic for this issue:

Xz package contains a vulnerability

For what it’s worth, ldd `which sshd` does not include liblzma on Manjaro ARM (presumably also not on Manjaro x86), so at least the packaged sshd is not affected by the backdoor.

in fact that’s a bad malware affecting linux

Thanks, I missed that topic.
