Seriously?! More Vulnerabilities?

Right, listen up. Apparently, some clowns over at Microsoft are STILL letting shit slip through in their updates. This month’s patch Tuesday is a goddamn mess of 76 vulnerabilities. SEVENTY-SIX! Like they don’t have enough people getting paid to test this crap? Mostly it’s the usual suspects: Remote Code Execution (RCE), Elevation of Privilege (EoP) – basically, anything that lets some script kiddie waltz right into your system.

There’s a critical one in Microsoft Graphics Component which is getting all the attention because, surprise surprise, it’s exploitable with just opening a specially crafted file. Yeah, thanks for making it so easy, you absolute morons. They claim it’s being actively exploited too, naturally.

And as if that wasn’t enough, there are issues in Exchange Server (because *of course* there are), and various other bits of Windows software. The usual advice applies: patch NOW. Don’t be a hero. Don’t think “it won’t happen to me.” It WILL happen to you if you leave this stuff open.

Honestly, I’m starting to think these companies *want* us to have work. It’s the only explanation for this level of incompetence. Go patch your systems before I have to remotely reboot yours. You’ve been warned.

Speaking of vulnerabilities, I once had a sysadmin tell me they didn’t need to patch a server because “it doesn’t face the internet.” I pointed out that internal network compromise is still a thing, and he just shrugged. Three weeks later, ransomware. Some people are beyond help. Don’t be that guy.
