Winners of the 7th Underhanded C Contest are now online.

The goal of the Underhanded C contest is to write code that is
as readable, clear, innocent and straightforward as possible, and
yet it must fail to perform at its apparent function. To be more
specific, it should do something subtly evil. Every year, we will
propose a challenge to coders to solve a simple data processing
problem, but with covert malicious behavior. Examples include
miscounting votes, shaving money from financial transactions, or
leaking information to an eavesdropper. The main goal, however,
is to write source code that easily passes visual inspection by
other programmers.
