Re: Re: backdoor in upstream xz/liblzma leading to ssh server compromise

I extracted the script from both versions and I can verify your diff. I attached the two versions I extracted. It definitely does look like the 5.6.1 version looks for 2 extra scripts to execute. I don't get any matches on the greps either though.

We Need Paid Sick Leave Now. Why Isn’t Congress Acting?
Since the COVID-19 crisis began, Congress has had three chances to urgently pass universal and permanent paid sick leave to keep all of us safe. Now once again, Congress is on track to abandon millions of workers by leaving paid sick leave out of a fourth coronavirus response bill.
Who Wins When Ballot Initiatives Are Gutted?
Person voting Ballot initiatives in America are under attack. In more than one-third of states where citizens can go around politicians to change the laws themselves, bills have been proposed this year to make that process harder. This represents a dramatic spike in how many bills are being considered to make it harder for initiatives to pass, and it follows a wave of ballot measures passed in 2018 to raise the minimum wage, expand Medicaid, end gerrymandering, and reduce mass incarceration.
Democracy and health care is under attack in Utah
Over the past two years, Americans have sent elected officials one message that could not be clearer: we want more health care, not less. That message rung out in the halls of Congress and in town halls across the country in the outpouring of opposition to bills that would have repealed the Affordable Care Act.
Ballot initiatives: A roadmap for blue-state resistance in the Trump era?
Today in America, our democracy and the concept of majority rule are under direct attack, struggling to survive. Many politicians have become unabashed about the fact that they have only one real interest — power. Nothing else matters, not facts, not solutions, not fairly drawn legislative districts and certainly not the will of the people.
As state voters lead on Medicaid, could health care be the next gay marriage?

But Americans in both red and blue states are making clear they want to expand health care, not cut it.

As state voters lead on Medicaid, could health care be the next gay marriage?
Trump and Congress are trying to slash Medicaid. But Americans in both red and blue states are making clear they want to expand health care, not cut it. Since the day Donald Trump took office, he and Republicans in Congress have had government health care programs like Medicaid in their sights. And reactions across the country, highlighted by recent special elections in Pennsylvania and Alabama, suggest this is backfiring in a spectacular way.
President Trump wrongly stigmatizes the poor with plans for Medicaid work requirement

The state that is leading the way on health care
Frederick Isasi is executive director of Families USA, a health care advocacy organization. Jonathan Schleifer is executive director of The Fairness Project, a national organization that supports state and local ballot initiatives. The opinions expressed in this commentary are their own. (CNN) Could a state in one of the farthest corners of our country finally help us turn a corner on health care?
Restaurants need to stop treating low-wage workers like avocados
It’s not unusual to see a la carte charges for guacamole at restaurants when avocado prices surge. But low-wage workers are not avocados. In Nov. 2017, 2.1 million working Americans in Arizona, Colorado, Maine, and Washington state had their wages raised by varying degrees and another 6 million workers in California and Washington DC had their wages raised to $15 an hour. When low-wage workers won higher minimum wages, restaurant owners reacted in three ways.
Why new minimum wage hikes are under threat
Jonathan Schleifer is the executive director of The Fairness Project, an organization that supported successful state-based ballot initiative campaigns in 2016. The opinions expressed in this commentary are his. (CNN) In Maine , Arizona and Washington state our democracy is under assault. And this time, Russia isn't to blame. Last November, voters in those states resoundingly approved ballot initiatives to raise minimum wages. Arizona and Washington also approved an expansion of paid sick leave.
5 Ways Direct Democracy Can Reduce Economic Inequality and Create Progressive Change
When Election Day arrived, people were excited to support these minimum wage increases. In both Arizona and Maine, lawmakers failed to pass wage increases in 2016, and in California a minimum wage increase failed to pass the legislature in 2015. However, raising the minimum wage was popular at the ballot box and these initiatives passed with larger margins than the top of the ticket in every single state it was run.
In the road to fair wages, citizens will win where lawmakers fail
For many Americans, 2017 is already giving them a reason to celebrate. Millions of low-wage workers received their first raise of the new year this week as minimum wage increases in 19 states were seen in paychecks across the country. These raises range from a few cents an hour to more significant increases. In Maine, where the wage went up by $1.50 an hour, 2017 ushers in the first raise in nearly eight years.
Maine’s Voters Spoke Clearly — It’s Time the Governor Listens
After seven years without a federal or state increase to the minimum wage, the people of Maine overwhelmingly voted to raise their minimum wage to $12 by 2020 and end the subminimum wage for tipped workers by 2024. Now, just one month later, Maine Governor Paul LePage is committed to overruling the will of the voters. He doesn’t get a legal veto so he is resorting to using bureaucratic shenanigans to subvert voters. This past week Gov.
How Minimum Wage Ballot Initiatives Outperformed Trump
What began as a bold experiment proved that a decentralized national campaign model based on shared expertise and seed funding with local groups can help successfully pass ballot initiatives in a wide range of states. The Fairness Project, which launched just over a year ago with initial backing from labor, was founded on the belief that voters would embrace ballot initiatives as a way to fix our broken economy and bypass ineffective lawmakers.
Minimum Wage Ballot Initiatives Won the Election Bigger Than Donald Trump
Since the election, pundits, pollsters and Clinton supporters have been reeling from the results, trying to make sense of an election that was unlike anything they had predicted. The two pervading narratives heading into the election were either it was going to be won and lost based on race, gender, sexuality and religion, classic identity politics, or it was a referendum on change versus status quo. In the end, both these narratives remain murky and contested.
Giving Thanks for Better Wages in 2017
For many Americans, Thanksgiving is a time for family, home cooking and celebration. But for the more than 41 million workers across the country who make less than $12 per hour, it’s another day of hard choices. Many working families won’t be celebrating the holiday with a large meal or a day off. In 48 states, it takes nearly a full day’s work at minimum wage to afford Thanksgiving dinner. For some, taking the day off to stay home with family isn’t even an option.
The Faces of the 2016 Minimum Wage Campaigns
For nearly a full year, ballot initiatives to raise the minimum wage have been organizing voters in Arizona, Colorado, Maine, and Washington and building the case for voters to support reasonable wage increases that support working families. As the election winds down these campaigns are making their final arguments to motivate voters?—?particularly low-income voters —to head to the ballot box. 1. More than 80 percent of working single parents who would benefit from a raise are women like Melissa.
8 Million Reasons I Love My New Job
I have 8 million reasons to love my new job. To be clear, 8 million is not an insanely bloated, shady-Wells-Fargo-executive salary. Nor is this an attempt at a record-setting listicle. As the new Executive Director at The Fairness Project I am joining a team that, if successful, in 2016 will have helped deliver meaningful raises to 8 million working Americans. Our approach is not House of Cards-style political strategy nor behind closed door deal making.
Speaker Ryan, Enough of your Empty Outrage
Speaker Ryan, Enough of your Empty Outrage Let’s start by acknowledging that when VA Secretary Bob McDonald dismissed tracking VA wait times by comparing them to tracking line wait times at Disneyland, it sounded dismissive of the pain and deaths caused by the wait for critical healthcare. It’s certainly not something anyone takes lightly.
Changes must focus on teachers
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has made it clear that 2015 is an education year, in which he'll be tackling issues affecting the daily lives of our state's 2.5 million students. The policies he's proposing will be implemented by teachers, and so they should be made with the perspectives of teachers in mind. Our group, Educators for Excellence New York, a teacher-led nonprofit with more than 10,000 members, recently released a report, "State of the Classroom," based on feedback from educators.
