How does the boot mode vulnerability in Android work?

How does the boot mode vulnerability in Android work?

"Google recently shut down the boot mode vulnerability in Android that allowed hackers to eavesdrop on calls. Can you explain how this exploit works?

It takes a few steps for the boot mode vulnerability exploit to work. First, the attacker infects a PC with malware through the internet. Then, the attacker waits for the victim to enable Android Debug Bridge (ADB) after manually connecting his Nexus 6 or 6P phone to the infected PC."
