October, 2024: Patch Tuesday - Five Zero Days!

Welcome to my October Patch Tuesday newsletter. Today Microsoft released updates for 118 CVE's. Since our last Patch Tuesday newsletter last month there are also an additional 28 updates totaling 146 CVE's patched this month. Of these we have 5 that are zero days:

CVE-2024-43572 and CVE-2024-43573 are not only publicly disclosed but have also been detected as being exploited in the wild. CVE-2024-43572 is a remote code execution vulnerability with a rating of important. This update will prevent untrusted MS Saved Console (MSC) files from being opened, which will protect the end user against an arbitrary code execution vulnerability. CVE-2024-43573 is a spoofing exploit rated moderate. You will want to make sure these get patched ASAP.

CVE-2024-2059 is rated as important but is also a pretty serious vulnerability. Successful exploitation could result in a compromised hypervisor by bypassing the UEFI on a host machine. So although it carries a "Exploitability Assessment" of "Exploitation Less Likely" I do recommend this one is also high up on your "get it patch soon" list.

Besides these zero days we have five CVE's rated critical:

These mainly affect Windows OS's as well as MS Configuration Manager and some one offs for Dynamics and the GroupMe app. You can find more details in the chart below. So, you will definitely want to get this month's updates tested and deployed as soon as you can. It looks like the bad guys have been busy so please update soon to remediate these recent vulnerabilities.

Besides these there is not much to talk about this month.

Happy patching!
