    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.
Update: I've disabled comments as of 2025-01-26 to avoid everyone having notifications for something a year on if someone wants to suggest a correction. Folks are free to email to suggest corrections still, of course.
