With all this talk of the #liblzma #backdoor, I thought I should check the version of #xz-utils in #Termux. To my surprise, version 5.6.1 was installed. Just ran "pkg upgrade" and there was an update which actually rolls back to version 5.4.5. Beware, Termux users... 👁️⚠️☣️ #ssh #malware #security #XZutils
