Workaround with the Sage distribution: "./configure 
--without-system-liblzma --without-system-xz"
(Our xz package dates back from before the attackers were born;)

Incidentally, the cryptographic protection of the Sage distribution is 
wildly insufficient.
I've opened https://github.com/sagemath/sage/issues/37691 for this -- any 
takers?
