Hi all
I read an article today on this website regarding a security alert for an application (xz / xz-utils):
https://www.phoronix.com/news/GitHub-Disables-XZ-Repo
I know that I have compiled/uploaded/shared this application on the forum in the JammyPup section:
viewtopic.php?p=115050#p115050
I have removed the link and posted in that section for members to uninstall the update as it has been flagged up that it contains malicious code.
I have checked the Fossapup64-95 applications thread to see if I also included this update in that section too. I did find an older build 5.4.x but not the affected version builds ie 5.60 and 5.61
@rockedge or members of the Moderators, please can you check again for links for xz v5.60 / v5.61 ?
The search facility is difficult to get results for small terms eg "xz"
@sonny , I do not know if you have also added this to the forum as you too continue to support Fossapup64-95 with application updates.
On my part this was not done intentionally nor did I have any prior knowledge of the altered code available on GitHub.
