C is hard. I really think this was just a bug. What _is_ possible though is that the NSA knew about this bug since awhile back and kept it secret. But then if they knew about the bug, why was nasa.gov vulnerable? I would not expect any .gov domains to be vulnerable unless to create plausible deniability - but this kind of conspiracy logic has no end.
