Microsoft Patch Tuesday June 2024: Fixes a zero-day bug
As mentioned above, this month's Patch Tuesday fixes a zero-day vulnerability that was previously publicly disclosed. Generally, Microsoft classifies a vulnerability as a zero-daywhen it is disclosed or actively exploited without an official patch being released.
The zero-day vulnerability is related to a “Keytrap” attack in the DNS protocol. It is tracked as CVE-2023-50868 and is an “issue in DNSSEC validation, where an attacker could exploit standard DNSSEC protocols intended for DNS integrity, using excessive resources in a resolver, causing a denial of service condition for legitimate users.”

This flaw was discovered in February and has been patched in several DNS implementations, including BIND, PowerDNS, Unbound, Knot Resolver, and Dnsmasq.
Other interesting vulnerabilities fixed with Microsoft's June Patch Tuesday include several remote code execution bugs in Microsoft Office.
Microsoft also fixed seven elevation of privilege vulnerabilities in the Windows Kernelthat could allow a local attacker to gain SYSTEM privileges.
