Patch Analysis for January 2022

Welcome to my January Patch Tuesday newsletter. Starting 2022 we have 6 vulnerabilities that are public. Of the six, CVE-2021-44228 is not only public but is also being exploited. You may be more familiar with it's newsworthy name, Log4j. This flaw allows a remote code execution that is allowing hackers to attack vulnerable applications. According to Microsoft, they have "not identified any exploitation of our enterprise services as a result of the Log4j vulnerability at this time." Despite this, Microsoft has published a blog on preventing, detecting and hunting for Log4j on your systems. So we recommend you definitely test and install this months updates ASAP. It's important to get this month's patches in place as well because there are 18 either released or updated CVE's that Microsoft's "Exploitability Assessment" is set to "Exploitation More Likely". Happy updating!
