Ask HN: So how come the xz thing hasn't hit the fan?
The xz thing sounded pretty scary. Yet I’m not hearing stories of emergency patching, etc. Was it no biggie after all or are people just handling this quietly?
Because it never made it out to Enterprise operating systems. It was so new and it was discovered early enough that it was really only on those running the absolute bleeding edge which is typically not big enterprises. If this would have hit like red hat 9, people would be losing their mind over it.
