Fortunately it's a .tar.gz rather than an executable, so the amount of harm SourceForge can do is limited.

Sourceforge's new owners claim[0] they stopped doing that stuff. I haven't checked to see if it's true but I know it's been discussed on HN before.

How so? They could drop an executable named "configure" in the tarball. I don't think they would, but they're not really limited by the format.

We're going to need a SHA-1 or something - they could just rezip the compromised binary.
