I honestly think this is malicious on Microsoft's part. Ignoring the fact that this is being portrayed as a Linux flaw when it's really a flaw in a project called networkd-dispatcher, the original article seems to suggest that this project is part of systemd-networkd, when it's really just a third party project with no relation. I'm clearly not the only one who thought this, as most commenters seem to have come to the conclusion that this is a systemd project. It's not even packaged by that many distros (just Debian and derivatives) [1]. The developer even said that no one contacted them [2]. This on top of having typical "exploit marketing" (like a catchy name, a big ASCII art banner, and a long blog post with graphics) really can't lead me to a charitable conclusion.
