| schestowitz[TR2] | <blockquote> | Mar 31 10:25 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p>This evening, I had a delightful discussion about programming language design. It was noted that some programming languages like C use curly braces. The curly braces have semantic meanings. In C, JavaScript, and other languages, curly braces denote a block of code. A block of code is a sequence of commands that are enclosed within a particular context. Consider the following code: </p> | Mar 31 10:25 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | <h5><a href="https://xeiaso.net/notes/2024/xz-vuln/">liblzma and xz version 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 are vulnerable to arbitrary code execution compromise</a></h5> | Mar 31 10:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <blockquote> | Mar 31 10:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p>The combination of this and patches made by some distributions to the interactions between liblzma, libsystemd, and sshd have resulted in a situation where an attacker can compromise a system by sending a malicious payload to an sshd server. </p> | Mar 31 10:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p> We are lucky. This only affects AMD64 Linux systems. Currently, incomplete analysis of the vulnerability suggests that this only targets a specific RSA function used in sshd. The exploit is in the wild. This is also a very new version of xz/liblzma, so it is not widely deployed yet. This is also unlikely to affect anything other than Glibc (because of glibc IFUNC support), so if y | Mar 31 10:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | ou use musl or another libc implementation, you are likely safe. </p> | Mar 31 10:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p> If you are using a distribution that has not yet released xz 5.6.0 or 5.6.1, you are likely safe. </p> | Mar 31 10:45 |
