    Instead of needing the honeypot openssh.patch at compile-time https://github.com/amlweems/xzbot/blob/main/openssh.patch

    How did the exploit do this at runtime?

    I know the chain was:

    opensshd -> systemd for notifications -> xz included as transient dependency

    How did liblzma.so.5.6.1 hook all the way back to openssh_RSA_verify when it was loaded into memory?
