The xz package that has already entered the current F40 pre-release versions/variants and rawhide contains malicious code. This does NOT affect users of the Fedora releases (F38, F39 are thus not affected), but all users who use already F40 pre-release versions/variants or rawhide shall read this: Article: CVE details: https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2024-3094 Be aware that this is CVE criticality 10: this is the highest risk factor.

      AFAIK it‘s better to use rpm -q xz xz-libs (copied from the forum replies) to avoid running xz itself just in case the affected version is already installed

      If you go to the post, on the comments, there is someone that is already telling you to run dnf list xz --installed. So you don’t need to run xz directly.

      If you are checking out the extent of damage on your system do not use ldd to check the links.

      You can inadvertently executed the exploit this way.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
