Adding to the complexity of this month’s series of update to currently supported and legacy operating systems, there are four separate streams for Windows 10 including: These updates date back to early 2008 and include patches released as recently as March 2017. The now venerable operating system Windows Vista has reached the end of support but given the seriousness of these reported vulnerabilities Microsoft has released two KB articles ( 975517 for 32-bit systems and 2347290 for 64-bit). Both IE and Edge updates should be considered “Patch Now” for this month. Unusually, this month Microsoft Edge has the largest number and the most serious vulnerabilities, which may be due to the increased usage of Windows 10 and its larger value to malicious hackers. With a total of 32 reported vulnerabilities reported for Microsoft browsers (IE and Edge) with 10 rated as critical, seven as important, eight as moderate and seven rated as low level security issues, this is another large and important update from Microsoft.
Without having to mention “threatened nation-state attacks” again, this is a “Patch Now” update from both Adobe and Microsoft. This update affects Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer (IE) 11. Microsoft is bundling another significant (Priority 1) Adobe Flash Player update ( ADV17007) that attempts to resolve 12 reported vulnerabilities, that at worst could lead to arbitrary code execution on a compromised system. Although Microsoft no longer uses the update bulletins methodology the following product families will receive updates this month: In addition, Microsoft is attempting to address two serious remote code execution vulnerabilities ( CVE-2017-8543 and CVE-2017-8464) that have been reported as exploited in the wild. Now is not the time to be relaxed about patching your environment. This month, we saw Microsoft issue a large number of high-priority issues and the incredible statement, “Microsoft is announcing the availability of additional guidance for critical security updates, that are at heightened risk of exploitation due to past and threatened nation-state attacks and disclosures.” In addition, Microsoft has moved from its usual approach of mentioning a few select security issues with its Security Advisories notes.
Excluding the fact that Microsoft is attempting to address a record 94 vulnerabilities, we are seeing Microsoft provide security updates for several operating systems that are no longer supported, including Windows XP and Vista.
