Could be quite a few different things.

Could be the kernel itself, gnupg, openSSH or even bash.

But we won’t know for sure, until it’s publically disclosed.

Could be the kernel itself

Wouldn’t make sense to me because the thread says GNU/Linux and others, though this could relate to Android or distros not using any GNU.

gnupg

Usually not exposed to the network though, but it’s generally a mess so wouldn’t be too surprising

Another candidate I have in mind is ntpd, but again that is usually not easily accessible from outside and not used everywhere, as stuff like systemd-timesyncd exists.

Just want to stress that I’m not sure about it being OpenSSH, it was more supposed to be a fun guess than a certain prediction

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
