Different groups in this case. According to Kapersky's report, Duqu used a zero-day to promote into kernel space, then loaded the full payload into memory. Less terrifying than the firmware revision from EG as a single attack, but Duqu was unique in that it replicated itself around in the local network, making it impossible to remove short of powering down everything.
The firmware exploits are part of the attack system with Duqu 2.0, right?
