> Just because macs don't use systemd, doesn't mean the backdoor won't work. Practically speaking it can't - For one the script injected into the build process tests that you're running on x86-64 linux, for another, the injected code is elf code, which wouldn't link on a mac. It also needs to manipulate dynamic linker datastructures, which would also not work the same on a mac. > This could perhaps affect more than just sshd on x86-64 linux? This however is true - /usr/sbin/sshd was the only argv[0] value that I found to "work", but it's possible there are others. "/usr/sbin/sshd" isn't a string directly visible in the injected code, so it's hard to tell.
