    Description:
    The Arch Linux project has sent out an
    advisory warning that a set of malicious packages, containing a remote
    access trojan, were uploaded to the Arch User Repository (AUR). The
    affected packages were librewolf-fix-bin, firefox-patch-bin, and zen-browser-patched-bin. " We strongly encourage users that may have
    installed one of these packages to remove them from their system and to
    take the necessary measures in order to ensure they were not
    compromised. "
