   As John wrote, stable Slackware 15.0 has never been affected by any of   
   those bad versions. For those running the alpha or beta version of the   
   next stable Slackware, also known as "Slackware current", the bad   
   versions 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 was included for a short time. However, if I   
   understand things right, the xz.SlackBuild script used to build from   
   source does not user cmake but the old school way of "./configure; make"   
   and did not produce any bad binaries. Even if Slackware would have had   
   any bad binaries from any bad version it would not have become any ssh   
   backdoor as Slackware does not run systemd.
