   According to https://news.opensuse.org/2024/03/29/xz-backdoor/ a   
   backdoor was present in the xz project from 7 March to 28 March.  The   
   rogue xz introduced a backdoor into the SSH daemon, exploitable if SSH   
   "is exposed to the internet".   
      
   "openSUSE MicroOS" is also affected.   
      
   "SUSE Linux Enterprise" is not affected.   
   openSUSE Leap is not affected either.   
      
   I'm running the current version of Leap, my xz level is 5.2.3.   
   The bad versions are xz-5.6.0 and xz-5.6.1
