GParted developer Steven Shiau released today GParted Live 1.6.0-3 as a new maintenance update to this powerful live system based on the popular GParted (GNOME Partition Editor) open-source disk partitioning utility to address the latest XZ backdoor and update core components.
Based on the Debian Sid (Debian 13 “Trixie”) repository as of April 8th, 2024, GParted Live 1.6.0-3 ships XZ Utils 5.4.5-0.2 instead of the XZ Utils 5.6.0 release that contained a backdoor that could allow a remote attacker to compromise an SSH server or any software linked against the liblzma library included in the package, which injected malicious code at build time.
