[-] Mysterious_Focus6144 352 points 17 hours ago The hooked RSA_public_decrypt verifies a signature on the server's host key by a fixed Ed448 key, and then passes a payload to system(). It sounds like the backdoor attempt was meant as the first step of a larger campaign: 1. Create backdoor. 2. Remotely execute an exploit. 3. profit. This methodical, patient, sneaky effort spanning a couple of years makes it more likely, to me at least, to be the work of a state, which also seems to be the consensus atm permalink source embed save save-RES report reply hide child comments [-] ProgsRS 159 points 16 hours ago It's very likely to be a planned group project given the amount of time it took. Less likely for a lone actor to have this much patience, foresight and commitment. There were others involved as fresh accounts who played different roles (like pressuring the maintainer) during certain periods and suddenly dropped off after, while Jia Tan was a separate persona who had been slowly and separately building trust with the end goal and task of delivering the final payload. It's possible that this was all the same person switching roles, but it's more likely to be an organized group effort over the span of years. permalink source embed save save-RES parent report reply hide child comments

XZ Backdoor Linux Hack

AndresFreundTec @AndresFreund Tec I accidentally found a security issue while benchmarking postgres changes. If you run debian testing, unstable or some other more "bleeding edge" distribution, I strongly recommend upgrading ASAP. openwall.com/lists/oss-securit... ← 94 www.openwall.com oss-security-backdoor in upstream xz/l... = 1d ••• AndresFreundTec @AndresFreundTec@mastodon.social I was doing some micro-benchmarking at the time, needed to quiesce the system to reduce noise. Saw sshd processes were using a surprising amount of CPU, despite immediately failing because of wrong usernames etc. Profiled sshd, showing lots of cpu time in liblzma, with perf unable to attribute it to a symbol. Got suspicious. Recalled that I had seen an odd valgrind complaint in automated testing of postgres, a few weeks earlier, after package updates. Really required a lot of coincidences.
