FWIW, I wrote that text, modified from a slightly different version in the earlier draft that was briefly published, and based on my best understanding at the time (which was that *no* build that reached F40 actually had a working version of the exploit). If Richard says the exploit potentially worked in 5.6.0-2, then F40 potentially *was* vulnerable for some time, because 5.6.0-2 reached updates-testing. You can use `dnf history info xz` to check if you ever had the vulnerable version installed. I'll see if we can get the post tweaked again; it will be hard to word it with the appropriate level of accuracy and urgency and still be readable, but I'll try... Oh, and we can't easily fix the URL of the blog post, apparently, because CMSes suck. It seems we're more less stuck with the "41" in that. -- Adam Williamson (he/him/his) Fedora QA Fedora Chat: @adamwill:fedora.im | Mastodon: @ad...@fosstodon.org https://www.happyassassin.net -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
