Andres Freund, a principal software engineer at Microsoft, noticed an unusual delay while doing some benchmarking with sshd, which is one of the most security-critical components of Linux. With further brilliant investigation him discovered a backdoor in a component called xz, which is used for data compression in all major Linux distributions. It is suspected that this could involve a state-level actor, but the story is still evolving. Affected versions of xz are 5.6.0 or 5.6.1, which were just released a month ago, so if your servers/desktops are not on a rolling release, you are probably safe. This was one of the most crucial backdoor discoveries ever and will shape the future of software testing and deployment. You can test if your system is vulnerable by running this script.
