Microsoft Patch Tuesday May 2022: Edge RCE, PetitPotam LSA Spoofing, bad patches. Hello everyone! This episode will be about Microsoft Patch Tuesday for May 2022. Sorry for the delay, this month has been quite intense. As usual, I’m using my Vulristics project and going through not only the vulnerabilities that were presented on May 10th, but all the MS vulnerabilities presented by Microsoft since the previous Patch Tuesday, April 12th.
Microsoft Patch Tuesday April 2022 and custom CVE comments sources in Vulristics. Hello everyone! This episode will be about Microsoft Patch Tuesday for April 2022 and new improvements in my Vulristics project. I decided to add more comment sources. Because it’s not just Tenable, Qualys, Rapid7 and ZDI make Microsoft Patch Tuesday reviews, but also other security companies and bloggers.
You can see them in my automated security news telegram channel avleonovnews after every second Tuesday of the month. So, now you can add any links with CVE comments to Vulristics.
Microsoft Patch Tuesday December 2021. Hello everyone! It’s even strange to talk about other vulnerabilities, while everyone is so focused on vulnerabilities in log4j. But life doesn’t stop. Other vulnerabilities appear every day. And of course, there are many critical ones among them that require immediate patching. This episode will be about Microsoft Patch Tuesday for December 2021.
I will traditionally use my open source Vulristics tool for analysis.
Last Week’s Security news: PrintNightmare, Kaseya, Intune, Metasploit Docker escape. Hello guys! The second episode of Last Week’s Security news from June 28 to July 4.
The most interesting vulnerability of the last week is of course Microsoft Print Spooler “PrintNightmare”. By sending an RpcAddPrinterDriverEx() RPC request, for example over SMB, a remote, authenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges on a vulnerable Windows system. And there is a public PoC exploit for this vulnerability published by the Chinese security firm Sangfor. And there is some strange story. It turns out that Sangfor published an exploit for the 0day vulnerability. But they thought this vulnerability (CVE-2021-1675) had already been patched as part of the June Micorosft Patch Tuesday. And then it turns out that this is a bug in the Microsoft patch. But Microsoft wrote that this is a different, new vulnerability CVE-2021-34527 and so there were no problems with the previous patch. In any case, a patch for this vulnerability has not yet been released and Microsoft is suggesting two Workarounds. Option 1 – Disable the Print Spooler service, Option 2 – Disable inbound remote printing through Group Policy. Do this first for Domain Controllers and other critical Windows servers. All versions of Windows contain the vulnerable code and are susceptible to exploitation. Also note that the new vulnerability has a flag Exploitation Detected on the MS site.
