Saw a YouTube video about a backdoor that had been snuck into xz
that affects openssh and sshd.  The vulnerability was rated
10.0 of 10.0 and the Linux distros were racing to fix it.
If I remember the video correcty, the malware only got in as of
5.6.*, and older versions are not at risk.  "xz --version" says
5.4.4, so it looks like FreeBSD is safe, but maybe a newer
version of FreeBSD (13.3 or the upcoming 14.1) might need to
avoid it?

Just passing on the word.  This was the video:
