CVE-2024-3094: 2 source package rows (lighttpd, xz); 8 state rows across 6 repos (3.17-main, 3.18-main, 3.20-main, 3.21-main, 3.22-main, edge-main); fixed 8, open 0.
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.
