Strange, because I heard from Linus' cousin's neighbor's hairdresser than it was APT23 that wanted backdoor access into Linux, while someone who once shared a cab with Lennart Poettering told me the Freemasons were demanding the placement of a buffer overflow in Pulse Audio that could be triggered by the right combination of harmonics in the mp3 decoder. I am not sure which rumor I find more credible, there are just so many to choose from...
- Nightshaxx 6y agoEveryone knows the Pulseaudio backdoor to gain root access can be activated by playing "Party in the CIA" by Werid Al, yelling George Washington's name 6 times and then typing in a valid .gov email.
- conistonwater 6y agoThe very fact that a random HN commenter can allege that such a backdoor exists is enough for me to believe that it probably exists, but of course you can't be sure.
- uncledave 6y agoVery unfeasible. Poettering would deny there were any bugs!
