The KB4532693 update , released by Microsoft a few days ago, turned out to be “problematic.” Many users complained about an error that was responsible for deleting their files. Until a permanent solution for the various problems is released, many businesses running versions 1903 and 1909 of Windows 10 will not have security fixes .
For example, there is still a critical vulnerability in Internet Explorer (CVE-2020-0674). vulnerability allows an attacker to execute malicious code remotely. However, Microsoft, knowing the severity of the bug, had already released a temporary fix.
What is worrying is that some targeted attacksthat exploit this vulnerability. These attacks have alarmed companies. Attackers can execute commands on a vulnerable systemwhen the user visits a specially crafted site.
The workaround also included a note telling users that there were possible "side effects" for functions that use the jscript.dll file. There may also be problems with printing.
Then, Patch Tuesday, with the KB4532693 update, which was supposed to provide a permanent solution to the Windows 10 security issue. However, as it turned out, even more problems arose. As we mentioned above, many complained about their files being deleted. Although files can be recovered, this whole process has been very frustrating for Windows 10 users.
Is there a micropatch available?
Since Microsoft has not yet brought a permanent solution, the platform 0Patch. The platform is offered to its users in the form of micropatches that fix security in real time and take place without restarting the machine.
Mitja Kolsek, CEO of Acros Security, the company behind 0patch, announced that the micropatch can now help fix vulnerabilities in versions 1903 and 1909 of Windows 10, whereas it was not possible before.
Initially, the workaround was available for Windows 7, Windows 10 v1709/v1803/v1809, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Server 2019.
The platform is available to users free of charge, for non-commercial use, but also for a fee (for businesses).
