Arch isn't affected afaik, as it specifically targeted Debian and RPM. Also, sshd isn't linked against liblzma (or something along those lines). And I hope that's true, because otherwise, I had a backdoor on a public system for over a month.

And as https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2024/03/29/4 says:

"These conditions include targeting only x86-64 linux: [...] Building with gcc and the gnu linker [...] Running as part of a debian or RPM package build:"

I'm not an expert of course.
