Has there ever been an instance of very popular FOSS having obfuscated code in it that did something malicious?

FBI backdoor implemented in OpenBSDs IPsec layer.

Luckily other OSes doesn't have this problem, because they have standards to readability. Theo de Raadt only cares about code purity.

It contained cryptography math, which makes it unreadable for 99% of code monkeys.

written in what?

I wouldn't use Mint, Elementary, or Solus if you care about security.

Theo is fucking hilarious

C of course, what the fuck do you think an OS would be implemented in?
>>
>>58337837
Funny how nobody has found the backdoor yet after years of accusations.
>>
>>58338016
It was silently patched and commit history was deleted, everyone knows this.
>>
>>58338025
How can it be patched when zero evidence of it existing has ever been found?
>>
>>58338015
lips duh
>>
>>58338040
I literally just explained it to you. Revision history was tampered with. There are bunch of people who have older versions that have posted sha256 checksums that differs from those found online.
>>
>>58338071
Post the patch
>>
>>58338104
Make me
>>
>>58338138
So it doesn't exist? Just as I thought.
>>
>>58338104
It wouldn't have been secretly patched if random anons on the internet had it, now would it?

Just google OpenBSD and checksum mismatch, you'll find plenty of relevant results.
>>
>>58338146
Not me, but nice samefagging and false flagging of you. It's not apparent at all.

Holy shit, you can say anything and have it parroted.

Idk if this counts but i remember a developer made a typo in an update that was:
>rm -rf ~/ home/program/whatever
Which executes as:
>rm -rf ~/

Bumblebee and Steam did that.

Chromium downloaded an obfuscated binary blob. Eventually someone noticed and reported it to the Debian developers.

What was just some hacky script for laptops with multiple GPUs.

That wasn't malicious, albeit extremely destructive.

>rm -rf ~/ home/program/whatever

~/ is /home, fyi
>>
>>58344101
That's what he meant.
This script would purge the contents of every sub-directory of /home it had access to
>>
>>58344120
you sure it wasn't rm -rf / home/program ?
>>
>>58344139
OP here. I didnt really think too much about it but yes youd be correct. Not that it matters.
>>
>>58344139
Since that program most likely didn't run as root, that would just have just caused a ton of permission errors for a long time during which it would be hung. Until the user got tired and killed it. It probably wouldn't ave time to get to something it could actually delete.

4chan should just block mobile traffic. Gets rid of the iTards and cuts back on a large chunk of server load in one fell swoop.

Purity? What the shit is that?
>>
>>58344497
>Purity?
That's when you hijack a project (OpenSSL), and start posting code online on mailing lists and blog and ridicule it and tell the original author to choke on a bucket of cocks because he decided to not use brackets around his one-liner if conditions.
