xz-utils (5.4.6-0ubuntu1~16.04.sav1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Response to CVE-2024-3094 backdoor (new upstream changes from April 2024):
    - d/patches/: Add cve-2024-3094-doc-changes-part{1,2,3}.patch (upstream)
        to show current correct maintainer and URL info (removes "Jia Tan")
      - Add cve-2024-3094-doc-changes-part4.patch to purge the evildoer from
        documentation in several additional files not yet changed by upstream
    - NOTE: No ifunc support was in any xz-utils source prior to v5.5.1alpha,
      and at this time all available information about CVE-2024-3094 says that
      the backdoor relied upon ifunc to operate, so this version 5.4.6 should
      not be vulnerable (and as soon as upstream makes a new release with all
      changes by "Jia Tan" removed that release will be published at the PPAs)
