Re: Microsoft! Leave our Linux alone!!!
It's Windows API(s?) allowing the Linux subsystem to access it all willy-nilly which is the problem.
Which begs the question of how to restrict the subsystem while still allowing it to do worthwhile things. The description in the article sounds more like the reason the embedded Linux bit in Windows was being used is that it is an unusual source of any behavior and thus likely to evade detection by existing anti-malware rather than that it does anything special.
