Replicant OS Developers Find Backdoor In Samsung Galaxy Devices 126
An anonymous reader writes "Developers of the Free Software Foundation-endorsed Replicant OS have uncovered a backdoor through Android on Samsung Galaxy devices and the Nexus S. The research indicates the proprietary Android versions have a blob handling communication with the modem using Samsung's IPC protocol and in turn there's a set of commands that allow the modem to do remote I/O operations on the phone's storage. Replicant's open-source version of Android does away with the Samsung library to fend off the potential backdoor issue."

AMD processors were found to have similar vulnerabilities.
Mascarading as a debug mode, all hardware and thus software security features can be bypassed. Essentially allowing both stealth software operation, bypassing root and administrator authentication restrictions, and more. Intel is known to have similar functionality, but its not publically disclosed yet.. http://hardware.slashdot.org/s... [slashdot.org]
NSA compiled and uses all these exploits whether it was installed there for them or not.
Windows also has NSAKEY installed and all vulnerabilities and the source code of Windows is turned over to the NSA before the things can be patched, allowing NSA to locate and exploit vulnerabilities for hacking us and everyone else. http://www.washingtonsblog.com... [washingtonsblog.com]
RSA also put in exploits so SSL / Etc would be vulnerable to their attack, as the leaks indicated. http://it.slashdot.org/story/1... [slashdot.org]
