A comment on XZ backdoor: "It's RCE, not auth bypass, and gated/unreplayable.". Parent comment
I've always found that dev's name to tilt me.
Funnily enough, the Chinese name was no reason to investigate. It was a performance issue.
Also, to the discussion that a distribution was targeted. Jia advocated Fedora to upgrade to 5.6.x. Fedora is the precursor for RHEL.
Together with the backdoor not working when LANG not set (USA).
Those are two details suggesting the target was USA. Though either or both could've been part of the deception.
