Wasn’t the payload in a blob in the tests, which is in the source repo? If you were to clone the repo then build from source, you’d have the backdoor, right? Surely distros aren’t using binaries sent by maintainers
The rust compiler refuses to compile code which doesn’t adhere to a strict set of rules guaranteeing memory safety. Unless you intentionally call an unsafe block, misuse in this sense is impossible, not just difficult.
The actual work required to execute such a plan is vastly more difficult than being told how to do it. How the original atomic bombs worked is well-known, but even nation-states struggle with implementing it.
