[Bug 1734147] Re: Ubuntu 17.10 corrupting BIOS - many LENOVO laptops models

[allen]

I think we are off on the wrong track.  This is fundamentally a CVE
against Insyde Software BIOS and possibly other vendors.   Any attacker
with kernel mode access could do the same thing, regardless of Linux
install.  I am not sure, but it is possible someone with admin access to
Windows could create a driver to do the same thing.  Any brave
pentesters out there want to give it a try and write it up?

If Paul Sladen in #173 is correct, this is definitely a CVE against the
BIOS.
