shortwavesurfer,

I would say you can’t, but if you are using open source software, then somebody can and will find them eventually and they will be patched. Unlike with closed source software, you will never know if it has a backdoor or not. This whole episode shows both the problems with open source, being lack of funding for security audits, and the beauty of open source, being that eventually it will be detected and removed.
