Public bug reported:
Please sync xz-utils 5.6.1-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)
Hello! I am one of the upstream maintainers for XZ Utils. Version 5.6.1
was recently released and uploaded to Debian as a bugfix only release.
Notably, this fixes a bug that causes Valgrind to issue a warning on
any application dynamically linked with liblzma. This includes a lot of
important applications. This could break build scripts and test
pipelines that expect specific output from Valgrind in order to pass.
Additionally, this fixes a small typo for the man pages translations
for Brazilian Portuguese, German, French, Korean, Romanian, and
Ukrainian, and removes the need for patches applied for version
5.6.0-0.2.
The other bugfixes in this release have no impact on Ubuntu. They
involve building with CMake or when building on a system without
Landlock system calls defined (these are defined in Ubuntu).
Changelog entries since current noble version 5.6.0-0.2:
xz-utils (5.6.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Import 5.6.1 (Closes: #1067708).
* Takeover maintenance of the package.

Excerpt from the NEWS entry from upstream:
5.6.1 (2024-03-09)
* liblzma: Fixed two bugs relating to GNU indirect function (IFUNC)
with GCC. The more serious bug caused a program linked with
liblzma to crash on start up if the flag -fprofile-generate was
used to build liblzma. The second bug caused liblzma to falsely
report an invalid write to Valgrind when loading liblzma.
* xz: Changed the messages for thread reduction due to memory
constraints to only appear under the highest verbosity level.
* Build:
- Fixed a build issue when the header file <linux/landlock.h>
was present on the system but the Landlock system calls were
not defined in <sys/syscall.h>.
- The CMake build now warns and disables NLS if both gettext
tools and pre-created .gmo files are missing. Previously,
this caused the CMake build to fail.
* Minor improvements to man pages.
* Minor improvements to tests.
** Affects: xz-utils (Ubuntu)
