This is an interesting story of a serious vulnerability in a Huawei driver that Microsoft found. The vulnerability is similar in style to the NSA’s DOUBLEPULSAR that was leaked by the Shadow Brokers—believed to be the Russian government—and it’s obvious that this attack copied that technique.
What is less clear is whether the vulnerability—which has been fixed—was put into the Huawei driver accidentally or on purpose.
