Priority: ● Critical (CVSS score: 10.0)

Status: In Progress

 

First Published: April 4, 2024

Advisory Version: 1.02

References: CVE-2024-3094

 

Summary

Malicious code was discovered in the upstream tarballs of xz, starting with version 5.6.0. Through a series of complex obfuscations, the liblzma build process extracts a prebuilt object file from a disguised test file existing in the source code, which is then used to modify specific functions in the liblzma code. This results in a modified liblzma library that can be used by any software linked against this library, intercepting and modifying the data interaction with this library.
