    There's a ton of press today related to this vulnerability because it was discovered by the NSA and reported to Microsoft. For example: NSA found a dangerous Microsoft software flaw and alerted the firm — rather than weaponize it

    The first information about it was published by Brian Krebs last night: Cryptic Rumblings Ahead of First 2020 Patch Tuesday

    This details page just went up, and hopefully we'll get some more information soon.

    Edit: Here's an NSA tweet with a link to a PDF (and image version of it) describing it in more detail: https://www.twitter.com/NSAGov/status/1217152211056238593
