Likely not since most of these are dev or experimental of the latest version.
Check xz --version
If you're not on the two listed above you're fine.
As far as I can tell running xz directly should be fine, but for the extra paranoid check the version of the
xz-utils
package. If it is safe, it will be either less than5.6.0
, or it should be5.6.1+really5.4.5-1
(xz5.4.5
with a spoof version number to ensure compromised systems get the update).awesome thanks I did (xz --version) to check and it is using an unaffected version.
