Two researchers at the University of Minnesota have admitted they deliberately introduced security flaws into the Linux kernel, in order to determine how effective the review process is. As a result, all code changes originating from the university have been rolled back and are being re-reviewed, and no one using a University of Minnesota email address will be allowed to submit kernel changes. Apparently the flaws the researchers introduced are now in use on production systems worldwide.
