Not really
"The recent incident raises questions about the security of open-source development methods, particularly how well a development team can guarantee that any changes are not introducing intentional security flaws. While Microsoft code has had similar problems, closed development is widely considered to be harder to exploit in that way"

It depends at which stage it was introduced. But the larger implication is that now some hackers are starting to attack the Linux code.

At what point will this become a bigger problem...
