Does Tails use systemD?
It was an early adopter?
And it's funded by the NSA?

OK, no questions then.

Mr Shadow, my apologies for not replying sooner but I've been a bit
busy. I did have a look at this about a week ago.

Couple of links I found useful.

https://www.akamai.com/blog/security-research/critical-linux-backdoor-xz-utils-discovered-what-to-know

Re Tails I am using version 6.1 and this uses xz-utils/now 5.4.1-0.2
amd64 [installed,local] so well before the alleged backdoored versions
5.6.0 and 5.6.1

and yes Tails does use systemd

They were probably waiting to see if anyone noticed it ....

Devuan does not, so I missed that Nasty Stupid A%^$holes
"feature". Oh well....
Note the main developer was bombed by "social media" to step
down ages before the hack, which was how the malicious group could
commandeer the xz-utils project. Not the work of a single individual.
So much for "latest is bestist".
BTW, Firefox and Thunderbird have had dozens of "critical
security issues that could lead to remote exploits" patched(sic) over
the last few months. Lets see the new ones they replace them with.
I'm so old I can remember when Firefox was a browser and
Thunderbird was an email client.
