I will laugh out loud if the “fixed” binary contains a second backdoor, but one of better quality. It’s reminiscent of a poorly hidden small joint, which is naturally found, and then bargaining, apologizing and making amends begin. Although now it is generally not clear where the code is more proven.

Here is the official statement from OpenSUSE: news.opensuse.org/2024/03/29/xz-backdoor/

lemmyreader,

Reading the comments here news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39865810 it appears that libarchive may be tainted as well.

AmbiguousProps,

This is pretty insane. Can’t wait for the Darknet Diaries on this one.
