Re: [PATCH 00/11] xz: Updates to license, filters, and compression options

[Jonathan Bennett]

Just in case it hasn't been brought to the kernel's attention, the xz 
project has been compromised in its upstream repo, and versions 5.6.0 
and 5.6.1 attempt to load a backdoor into SSH. I suggest any patches 
associated with Lasse Collin, Jia Tan, or tukaani.org  be held until 
that matter is fully resolved. And all their previous work needs to be 
re-examined with this in mind.
