remember the Samsung Galaxy backdoor?
A security researcher said that there is "virtually no evidence" of any backdoor. I don't understand these technical matters. Could someone who understands explain?
Original complaint:
http://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/SamsungGalaxyBackdoor
The researcher is saying it is a bug not a backdoor, that allowed for directory traversal and possible an exploit.
More on this:

Keep in mind Heartbleed was also a "bug" but convenient enough that it may have been used as a backdoor.
We may never know if the bug was intentional or a typo, a problem in even open source software - since people fail to properly audit the code.

I'm going to keep my reply to your forum concrete. Even your discussion is very informative, unfortunate this forum is a classic example of topic not related to trisquel and should be post it in the troll hole. Unless, you feel that my comment is obviously {out of range), then excuse me and my parle!
please explain the negative effect of this post
I'm just voicing my opinion, Since you are asking, why don't you tell me first...
i think that while there is no genrel discussion forum
this is the only place were posts get noticed
so if there’s something important like a Samsung backdoor
its fine to post it here
