Description
Dom0 has xz-5.4.1, which doesn't include that backdoor. Neither Fedora 39 nor Debian 12 are affected.

xz-5.4.1 was released by the very same person who inserted the backdoor into 5.6.0/5.6.1:
https://github.com/tukaani-project/xz/tree/v5.4.1
We should look at libarchive too; vulnerabilities are now known to have been inserted by the same person who backdoored xz:
libarchive/libarchive#1609
A good timeline is still being created here:

We may wish to consider the use of zstd instead:
