THE XZ UTILS BACKDOOR IS A STARK REMINDER THAT IF YOU RELY ON BITCOIN IT IS IMPERATIVE TO SUPPORT THE OPEN SOURCE CONTRIBUTORS THAT MAKE THIS MOVEMENT POSSIBLE.
GOOD MORNING.

Slow burn. I was tasked with checking all of our systems to ensure the exploited version wasn’t in our farm.
As far as I know It’s a very specific attack. You need to run a distribution that is rolling release _and_ uses the binary tarball of XZ while having the SSH system notify thing on. Its almost specifically sorts out Debian testing derivatives and Fedora.
For example, Arch has the infected binary but its SSH is not linked to it. NixOS will have the 5.6.1 version but its clean because they’ve built from source instead of using the published binaries.
But if you have something important running on those servers that got touched by those exploits its better to just wipe clean and redeploy those machines.
Correct. Kali was another one. Fedora rawhide, a few opensuse as well. No Debian or RHEL release
GM. Bullish on xz compression, systemd, openssh and other fee software.
