That backdoor in sshd (via xz / liblzma) affects recent versions of Kali Linux:
Kali Linux announced that the impact of this vulnerability affected Kali between March 26th and March 29th. If you updated your Kali installation on or after March 26th, applying the latest updates today is crucial to address this issue. However, if you did not update your Kali installation before the 26th, you are not affected by this backdoor vulnerability.
More info here:

A couple things to think about here:
This appears to be a malicious maintainer - not a compromised account. Meaning the person themselves, coded this in an pushed it out.
So:
1) Did they try and backdoor any other code?
2) Are they part of a greater campaign or is anyone else helping them.
This is a massive breach of trust.
That said! Huge kudos to Andres Freund, Florian Weimer, and others in finding this.
A lot of eyes are on this now. CISA is involved. Major distros are involved, etc. Many eyes and such.
Beware! Backdoor found in XZ utilities used by many Linux distros (CVE-2024-3094) - Help Net Security
A vulnerability (CVE-2024-3094) in XZ Utils may enable a malicious actor to gain unauthorized access to Linux systems remotely.Zeljka Zorz (Help Net Security)
