Any of you seen the news about php-pear?

There's an AUR package that downloads from pear.php.net so if that was
within the last 6 months it could have been the compromised one?

Please read the note in the aur comments.

Warning: The change in checksum was due to a security breach > at
PEAR. The PEAR installer was tainted:

You were affected if you installed php-pear 1:1.10.7-2

php-pear AUR package used install-pear-nozlib.phar.

As per this twitter link "nozlib" file was not "harmed"
https://mobile.twitter.com/co3k/status/1087178191070875648

So "hopefully" installing that package did not do anything malicious.

One more confirmation from PEAR.

3/4: If you installed PEAR via a PHP installation, you should be fine since that method uses the install-pear-nozlib.phar file.
