Will an update via Garuda Update be forthcoming?
@Colin if you are up to date, you are already on the “safe” version. Note that the desired version is a “-2”, as in “5.6.1-2” (not to be mistaken for “5.6.2”).
pacman -Q xz
xz 5.6.1-2
You can also rest assured that your system is not vulnerable to the known exploit, no matter what version is in use. Arch Linux - News: The xz package has been backdoored
