"The hacker got access to the Fedora package signing key and used this
to create modified versions of OpenSSH and RPM that would allow access
to user passphrases on the build system to secure the package signing key."

a confusion with the Red Hat intrusion but the reference to RPM is just
totally made up.  CC'ing Paul Frields.
