An attempt to backdoor the kernelAn attempt to backdoor the kernelPosted Nov 6, 2003 21:00 UTC (Thu) by proski (subscriber, #104)In reply to: An attempt to backdoor the kernel by allesfresser Parent article: An attempt to backdoor the kernel Political motivation of the attacker is possible, but I don't think this attack was sponsored by a corporation - it's too naive both in code ("=" vs. "==") and in implementation of the attack (attacking a gateway rather than the master repository). We should be prepared to more serious attacks.

An attempt to backdoor the kernel Posted Nov 7, 2003 18:07 UTC (Fri) by minichaz (subscriber, #630) [Link] Thats silly. It's almost the perfect backdoor. A quick scan of the code concerned and you don't notice anything wrong and if anyone does spot it later it looks like it might be a typo.Hard to spot, subtle, easy to trigger and easily deinable. What more could you want from a backdoor?
