Windows Update and dual booting linux

Hi, I noticed the below issue today. I think it only affects certain configuration of dual booting so not too many people should be affected. Does anyone know of people who have been affected? https://www.theverge.com/2024/8/21/24225108/microsoft-security-update-windows-linux-dual-boot
