I see some people mention "it passed QA checks" in reference to the xv backdoor .. You have no idea how the sausage is made, do you?
Even if someone casually looked at the particular commit (I doubt anyone did), that one line edit in the build script looks just like any od the other autotools garbage.
@TTimo Yeah, as one that edited configure scripts generated by autotools from time to time (because they wouldn't regenerate again) I can confirm, there's wild stuff in there, most of it unreadable unless you seriously sit down to deobfuscate it.
