According to a Discourse post, the beta for Ubuntu 24.04 (codename: Noble Numbat) , which was due to be released tomorrow has been delayed and now we should expect it on April 11. The reason for the delay is said to be CVE-2024-3094 — otherwise known as the XZ compression tools, which were compromised with malicious code.
This delay also leads to speculation that the upcoming 24.04 launch — slated for April 25 — could possibly be delayed.
