Is it still secure if a cryptographic key generated with OpenSSL while a backdoored HWRNG used?

Assuming I plugged a HWRNG in to my Linux machine, use OpenSSL to generate a RSA key pair and encrypted some text with AES. Later then, a researcher posted the HWRNG was backdoored. … Should I consider those key are safe to use since Linux kernel mixes data not just from the HWRNG but with other sources. How about vices versa? …
