Subject: Linux xz issue
Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2024 22:43:53 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <em9acc6e7a-921f-4922-a5dd-77cc63657601@fece094b.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 773 bytes --]

There is a serious security issue with xz (and liblzma) versions 5.6.0-1 
and 5.6.1-1. I note that cywin currently is suggesting an upgrade to 
5.6.1-1, which is unsafe. I've looked at the cygwin archives and I don't 
see a reference to this: sorry if you're already aware of this issue.
