> systemd's call to dlopen() liblzma library (CVE-2024-3094)

That's technically wrong, but no surprise. Anti-systemd trolls usually don't understand technical details after all.

It is 10 and more years that I experience such ad-hominem attacks.

You are so quickly labeling an identifiable professional as troll, while hiding behind your throwaway identity, that I am confident readers will be able to discern.

Meanwhile let us be precise and add more facts https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/31550

Our community is swamped by people like you, so I will refrain from answering further provocations, believing I have provided enough details to back my assertion.

That MR is not part of any released version of systemd. That is simply to verify: there has been no new systemd release.

So much for the "facts".

As for trolling: just look at the usual contributions from your community like https://twitter.com/DevuanOrg/status/1619013961629995008 Excellent work with the ad-hominem attacks there.

It's already accepted and merged into master so it will be released in a future systemd release. What's your point?

LP in da house?

The MR linked to would actually prevent the backdoor from working, but that doesn't stop some people from claiming it enables the backdoor.

But as already said: no surprise given where the comment comes from.

That's not the point I'm replying to. You were lying and I pointed that out.

Can you explain in simple words that even a non programmer can understand, what the linked PR does?
