And I guess the other interesting question here is... is this the only backdoor? Are there others?
I wondered that myself... if there are people will find them soonish I suspect; IOS source code was leaked some time ago; all 500M compressed of it -- so I heard, I would never posses such a thing myself of course :)
I think "backdoor" is probably misleading. If I remember correctly, IMLI messages are formatted in some SNMP-like way, and if this rw community does exist on some loads of IOS, it probably has more to do with over-enthusiastic software-reuse within the operating system than the desire to leave an administrative hole open for after-hours access.
