Yes, F40 beta is affected, along with rawhide, but not F38/F39.

https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2024-3094

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/fedora-project_urgent-security-alert-for-fedora-41-and-fedora-activity-7179540438494629888-EH4d?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

It might be noted that the header of the RH article is wrong and refers to "F41 and rawhide", whereas the RH article content is correct and refers to "F40 and rawhide". Other sources, including the publication of Fedora Project (e.g., on linkedin), also refer to F40 and rawhide. However, the RH CVE article also refers to "F41 and rawhide".

Can someone from RH check and change the RH article header and the RH CVE page content to avoid confusion? I tend to assume that "F41 and rawhide" makes no sense at all since the two are currently equal.

Hi,

wow: https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2024/

I think at this point we clearly cannot trust xz upstream anymore and should
probably fork the project.
I kind of agree here, though it saddens me to say it.  Any commit or
release by "Jia Tan" or "Hans Jansen" [1] is suspect until proven
otherwise, and those go back 2 or more years.

peoples' names.
