    Incorrect: the backdoored version was originally discovered by a Debian sid user on their system, and it presumably worked. On arch it’s questionable since they don’t link sshd with liblzma (although some say some kind of a cross-contamination may be possible via a patch used to support some systemd thingy, and systemd uses liblzma). Also, probably the rolling opensuse, and mb Ubuntu. Also nixos-unstalbe, but it doesn’t pass the argv[0] requirements and also doesn’t link liblzma. Also, fedora.

    Btw, https://security.archlinux.org/ASA-202403-1

      Sid was that dickhead in Toystory that broke the toys.

      If you’re running debian sid and not expecting it to be a buggy insecure mess, then you’re doing debian wrong.

        Unlike arch that has no “stable”. Yap, sure; idk what it was supposed to mean, tho.

        Yes, but Arch, though it had the compromised package, it appears the package didn’t actually compromise Arch because of how both Arch and the attack were set up.
