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

We have had some success using LS-to-LS over HTTP(S), which supports an HTTP(s) Load Balancer or Proxy in the middle, and can be secured with TLS/SSL. It can be made to be quite performant, but doing so requires some specific tuning.

Upstream (HTTP Output)

The upstream pipelie would contain a single HTTP output plugin aimed either directly at a downstream Logstash or at a Load Balancer, importantly configured with:

• format => json_batch (for performance; without this one event will be sent at a time) and
• retry_non_idempotent => true (for resilience; without this, some failures cannot be safely retried).

Depending on whether we ar sending directly to another Logstash or through an SSL-terminating Load Balancer or proxy, the output may need to be configured

• with HTTP Basic credentials (user/password),

In the last years I've been asked multiple times about the comparison between raylib and SDL libraries. Unfortunately, my experience with SDL was quite limited so I couldn't provide a good comparison. In the last two years I've learned about SDL and used it to teach at University so I feel that now I can provide a good comparison between both.

Hope it helps future users to better understand this two libraries internals and functionality.

Nix vs Guix

These are notes to the stream: https://youtu.be/S9V-pcTrdL8

Some notes

• We are not aware of a lot of GNU software available to us.
• Seems that Guix more hacker-friendly/explorable.
