One is a backdoor, another is a bug. How are they similar?
Both allow access to secure systems both were introduced years ago. I don’t know the Linux developer so I have no access to as to what was influencing so it can be just a bug, however it the type of bug that a lot of people would like to introduce into the kernel. Given that, they look very similar to me.
