Welcome to this November Patch Tuesday Bulletin. This month there are patches for 8 products, 5 products with critical vulnerabilities, 75 CVE’s, 1 actively attacked vulnerability, and 1 publicly disclosed. Make sure that Internet Explorer is updated to the newest version since it suffers from the actively attacked vulnerability (CVE-2019-1429). A user would have to navigate to a malicious website or open malicious content in order to exploit IE. Make sure that Excel has been completely updated next. There is a security feature bypass vulnerability (CVE-2019-1457) that affects Office 2016/2019 for Mac. This could allow an attacker to execute a malicious macro if an end user was convinced to open an infected Excel worksheet. The remaining CVE’s were not known to be disclosed or attacked at this time.

Over the years we've had millions of visitors to UltimateWindowsSecurity.com. Every month we have thousands and thousands of visitors to our Security Log Encyclopedia which documents all of the Security Log event ID’s for Windows Server OS’s. Back in 2007 when SharePoint added auditing capability, I realized that my audience not only needed the event information from SharePoint but I also found a similar need in SQL Server and Exchange. So not only did I document the data but I also started to develop the means to extract that event data from these applications so that it’s accessible and useable to the end user. Some 8 years later and LOGbinder is continuing to grow as companies realize LOGbinder bridges the gap between these applications and their infosec team. Visit LOGbinder.com to download a free 30-day fully functional trial and see the security event data that you have literally been missing.

So, without further ado, here’s the chart of MS patches this month.
