9 New Microsoft Bugs to Patch Now
Dark Reading – Jai Vijayan
Microsoft has issued fixes for three zero-day bugs that attackers currently are actively exploiting in the wild.
The three zero-day vulnerabilities were part of a substantially larger set of 78 new CVEs that Microsoft disclosed in its monthly security update Tuesday. The company assessed nine of these flaws as being of “critical” severity and 66 as presenting an “important” threat to organizations.
Nearly half the vulnerabilities (38) that Microsoft disclosed this month were remote code execution (RCE) bugs â a category of flaws that security researchers consider especially serious. Elevation-of-privilege bugs represented the next highest category, followed by denial-of-service flaws and spoofing vulnerabilities.
