I will briefly add a few links where the issue is further debated for those who are interested:
30. 3. 2024 v 11:33, Peter N. M. Hansteen <peter@bsdly.net>:
While this issue does not in fact affect OpenBSD, I think it will still be
of interest to OpenBSD users -- a lot of us deal with Linux in our dayjobs,
after all.
This is one of the best explanations of the matter I have seen so far:
https://lcamtuf.substack.com/p/technologist-vs-spy-the-xz-backdoor
and it leads in with a quote to remember -
"This dependency existed not because of a deliberate design decision
by the developers of OpenSSH, but because of a kludge added by some
Linux distributions to integrate the tool with the operating
system's newfangled orchestration service, systemd."
Enjoy!
