1. Jia Tan was a co-maintainer in 2022–2024. He and the team behind him inserted a backdoor (CVE-2024-3094) into XZ Utils 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 releases. He disappeared when this was discovered. The malicious tarballs aren’t available here. The tarballs on this page that were created and signed by Jia Tan have been checked and are safe.

2. XZ Utils 5.4.4: The two newest entries in ChangeLog have different commit IDs than in the v5.4.4 tag in in the v5.4 branch. The reason is explained in the review notes.

3. XZ Utils 5.4.2 and 5.2.11: The v5.4.2 and v5.2.11 tags in the Git repository were signed by Jia Tan but the tarballs were created and signed by Lasse Collin.
