xz was masked in the Gentoo repositories earlier today with the stated reason of "Investigating serious bug". No mention of security. It's pretty likely.

5.6.1 is masked specifically.

Also, https://mastodon.social/@mgorny@treehouse.systems/1121802382... from a Gentoo dev mentions that Gentoo doesn't use the patch that results in sshd getting linked against liblzma.

As far as I know this is not an official communication channel so don't take it as such.
