What does that paper say about implementing the TLS Heartbeat extension with a trivial uninitialized buffer bug?

About as much as Jia Tan said about implementing the XZ backdoor via an inconspicuous typo in a CMake file. What's your point?

  • I'm asking what the paper has to do with the vulnerability. Can you answer that? Right now your claim basically comes down to "writing about CMake is evidence you backdoored CMake".

    • > Right now your claim basically comes down to "writing about CMake is evidence you backdoored CMake".

      This statement makes it clear to me that you don't understand a thing I've said, and that you don't have the necessary background knowledge of Heartbleed, the XZ backdoor, or concepts such a plausible deniability to engage in useful conversation about any of them. Else you would not be so confused.

      Please do some reading on all three. And if you want to have a conversation afterwards, feel free to make a comment which demonstrates a deeper understanding of the issues at hand.
