Re: Updated timezone files
 

Just updated to this version.
And all is fine (until now ;))!

Thanks

P.S.:
maybe add this to your OP?
sudo gainroot
cd /usr/share
tar -cvzf /home/user/MyDocs/zoneinfo_bkp.tar.gz zoneinfo
to have a safe backup (just in case).

Re: Updated timezone files
 

Good to have a second approval :)

As I have put some big warnings in the OP (including: make a backup), I assume the persons who try it are smart enough. But I will add it, just in case someone ignores the warning.

BTW, I would not find it a bad idea if the CSSU team also addressed this subject, just like they updated the (compromised) certificates.

Re: Updated timezone files
 

Exactly!
And I would like to have this post together with those about the fraudulent certs (and others?) alltogether in a section (maybe new sub-forum?). Already asked for it.
I do see these as absolutely important to the security/state-of the OS, not only for CSSU user, but all.
