FAQ on the xz-utils backdoor (CVE-2024-3094)

This is a living document. Everything in this document is made in good faith of being accurate, but like I just said; we don't yet know everything about what's going on.

Background

On March 29th, 2024, a backdoor was discovered in xz-utils, a suite of software that

Edit 2: "blocking protecting marginalised community members from abuse" refers to the events during the incident (which was never made public, which unfortunately leaves me unable to provide more detail) that prompted the creation of the Community Council to begin with.

Leaving F-Droid

With a heavy heart, I have no choice but to leave @fdroid, effective immediately.

preface: Posting these online since it sounds like these notes are somewhat interesting based on a few folks I've shared with. These are semi-rough notes that I basically wrote for myself in case I ever needed to revisit this fix, so keep that in mind.

I recently bought an LG ULTRAGEAR monitor secondhand off of a coworker. I really love it and it's been great so far, but I ran into some minor issues with it in Linux. It works great on both Mac and Windows, but on Linux it displays just a black panel until I use the second monitor to go in and reduce the refresh rate down to 60 Hz.

This has worked decent so far but there's some issues:

• It doesn't work while linux is booting up. The motherboards boot sequence is visible just fine, but as soon as control is handed over to Linux and I'd normally see a splash screen while I'm waiting for my login window, I see nothing.
• It doesn't work on the login screen. This would be fine if login consistently worked on my second screen, but I need to manually switch

⚠️ Instructions below only apply to outdated Microsoft Edge versions. Since JPEG XL support has been removed from the latest versions of Edge (110+), this guide is irrelevant on the latest systems. Windows 7 and 8(.1) are limited to Edge 109, so the guide can still be used there.

ℹ️ Users are advised to move to Thorium, an enhanced fork of Chromium that supports JPEG XL out of the box by default.
