[s-t] How a backdoor in the Linux kernel was thwarted (fwd)

Forwarded around quite a bit - I thought I'd pass it on and maybe some of the more Linux-involved s-t'ers can confirm or deny the story. I didn't see it on /., but I vaguely recall reading someplace random that the 2.6 CVS kernel tree was temporarily out of service last week, though I don't remember exactly the reason. http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/1584 Anne Marie -=-=-=-
