redhat.com/en/blog/urgent-secu Ok so a recent version of an open source core utility ( utils) was backdoored with injected as a long-term project, and managed to sneak into the "development branch" of Fedora at least.

Exec summary: Panic is not necessary on this part, unless you are quite special. Also, this will not be the only core open source project with a tired maintainer that might have been targeted similarly and in a way that would not have been caught in testing. Ensuring core dependencies of widely used open source software have a viable supporting organization behind them that addresses the social issue of maintainer 'generation changes' is important. How can we resource this better?
