If OpenBSD has it, the Linux kernel probably has it.

Here's the original email:

Scott Lowe (named in the email) denies being on the FBI payroll, as does another Scott Lowe that might have been confused with the first.
I haven't heard if anyone has examined the code committed by Jason Wright -- which is the person alleged to have written the code.

This is no problem if the FBI is only interested in catching terrorists. But if the administration decides to politicize the FBI and use it against political enemies, then we are in trouble.

I know of the players involved here. It is highly dubious.
Besides, the OpenBSD code is open source and subject to intense scrutiny.

Theo de Raadt a paranoid a-hole first class, but an obscenely highly skilled one. Its hard to know what to believe. However, he has posted this in the open, so the truth will be known eventually.

Isn’t OS X based on freeBSD? If this is true it’s may also impact Mac OS X.
