Exploiting Binary Manipulation in GNU Strip for Systemic Linux Distribution Compromise

#linux security#binary manipulation#software supply chain#compiler attack#nixos

The attack propagates through build generations without requiring compiler compromise, subverting nearly all binaries in a standard environment.
