this is my favourite conspiracy theory that the CPUs are backdoored. just assign a bunch of registers with some special values and execute a specific instruction and the CPU will drop all memory protection. take something like google's NACL or a javascript JIT where you have enough control over the registers and you have a permanent browser exploit.
- marshray 13y agoThe best backdoors are indistinguishable from dumb bugs when they're discovered. They'd looks something like Debian's OpenSSL. But I believe that was not an intentional backdoor.
