Microsoft yesterday released its updates security for the month of September, also known as Patch Tuesday September 2020. This month, the company fixed 129 vulnerabilities in 15 of its products (from Windows to ASP.NET).
It is worth noting that on Patch Tuesday September 2020, 32 of the 129 vulnerabilities being fixed were classified as remote code execution (RCE) issues, which are bugs that allow attackers to exploit vulnerable applications remotely, over a network.
Of these 32 vulnerabilities, 20 were classified as “critical,” meaning they are some of the most important bugs fixed in Microsoft this month. The list of 20 critical RCEs includes bugs in:
- Windows (CVE-2020-1252)
- On-premise Microsoft Dynamics 365 systems (CVE-2020-16857, CVE-2020-16862)
- Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) (CVE-2020-1285)
- Microsoft SharePoint (CVE-2020-1200, CVE-2020-1210, CVE-2020-1452, CVE-2020-1453,CVE-2020-1576, CVE-2020-1595)
- Microsoft SharePoint Server (CVE-2020-1460)
- Windows Media Audio Decoder (CVE-2020-1593, CVE-2020-1508)
- Microsoft COM for Windows (CVE-2020-0922)
- Windows Text Service Module (CVE-2020-0908)
- Microsoft Windows Codecs Library (CVE-2020-1319, CVE-2020-1129)
- Windows Camera Codec Pack (CVE-2020-0997)
- Visual Studio (CVE-2020-16874)
All of the vulnerabilities listed above are serious issues, especially those affecting Windows, SharePoint, and Dynamics 365 (as these systems are often installed in large corporate networks).
Microsoft releases its monthly “Patch Tuesday” updates , and malware creators monitor these monthly security updates to select the most useful and dangerous vulnerabilities and change the details of the updates to find the exact bug that was fixed by Microsoft. These bugs can be used for future attacks .
System administrators should consider the threat posed by each of these RCE vulnerabilities and then apply Patch Tuesday as soon as possible to stay safe.
