Also, sshd isn’t linked against liblzma (or something along those lines). And I hope that’s true, because otherwise, I had a backdoor on a public system for over a month.

minus-squareHopFlop@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up8·8 months agoYeah but the backdoor does not work on Arch (as far as we currently know). It relies on a linking of libraries that Arch doesnt do by default.
