#Backdoor in #XZ Utils is a catastrophe that didn’t happen, so it won’t get much attention—but it should. You’ve never heard of #opensource library called #XZutils, but it’s on hundreds of millions of #computers. Probably on yours. Mar 29, another unpaid volunteer, #AndresFreund noticed something weird about how much processing new version was using. It’s the sort of thing that could be easily overlooked, but #Freund tracked down the weirdness and discovered the backdoor.
