This is not really correct, or at least at all relevant. The bug wasn't
in F40 Beta simply because the update never made it to 'stable'. Only
'stable' packages go into *composes*. However, saying that is not
really useful because anyone who *installed* Beta and then updated it
regularly may have got the vulnerable package. We should not say
anything to give people the impression that if they installed Beta,
they don't need to worry. That is not true or helpful.

Thing is, the bug was fixed before Fedora 40 Beta was released. If you installed the beta on or after the release date, you never got the builds with ifuncs enabled. This is why it's correct to say that only "pre-beta" builds were backdoored.
