Re: In other news - Intel to blame for all Windows bugs

Have you ever heard of white goods? One manufacturer in the supply chain builds it and re-brands it for multiple customers to re-sell as their own. In this case that white goods manufacturer is not Huawei but some other company. If they include this binary with all the exploits in their product then all the re-branded kit will also have that exploitable binary.
