10:25 schestowitz[TR2]; <blockquote>
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>

10:45 schestowitz[TR2]; <blockquote>
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>
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

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>
