Hi,

If you're using an up-to-date Tumbleweed, please make sure to update as 
soon as possible your system.

The latest versions of "xz" (5.6.0 and 5.6.1) contained malicious code ( 
refer to CVE-2024-3094 ) and the package in Tumbleweed has been reverted 
back to version 5.4.

After reading this mail, please update your system and ensure you're 
downgrading xz to the version *5.6.1.revertto5.4. *This version 
despite**itsname is version 5.4. Last step is reboot your system.

Hopefully we'll have soon more detailed information about this CVE.

Have a nice weekend!

Ana from the openSUSE release team.
