Microsoft delivers 75-count box of patches for Valentine's Day
Microsoft is showering love, maybe, on IT teams with some 75 security patches, nine of which are rated"critical" and 66"important," and three of which Redmond says are under active exploitation.
Interestingly enough, the trio being taken advantage of aren't the most critical vulnerabilities Microsoft has addressed this month. Of the three being exploited, two have a base CVSS severity score of 7.8 out of 10, while the third scores just 7.3. Five of the others flaws which earned a 9.8 CVSS score are decidedly worse.The first vulnerability under active attack, spotted by Mandiant, is a
in the Windows Graphics Component that would allow a miscreant to execute commands with system-level permissions.is a bug in the Windows Common Log File System Driver and would allow an attacker to elevate their access to gain system privileges. Microsoft didn't share any details about the issue, unfortunately, but with it under active exploitation it's a good idea to install those patches.
The attack has to be carried out by a local user who's already authenticated, Microsoft said. If the authenticated attacker can convince a victim to download and open a malicious file then the security hole can be exploited, otherwise it's not going to happen.
