      The researchers found five different vulnerabilities. The one that can most unambiguously not be called anything besides a backdoor (internally reducing what were believed to be 80-bit keys down to 32 bits) was specific to TEA1, the export cipher for use outside of Europe and the US, but the other vulnerabilities applied to other ciphers also.
