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 before it goes live?

The worst offender? A critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) bug in the Windows Graphics Component. Yeah, you read that right. RCE. Meaning some script kiddie with a slightly functioning brain can probably own your system. There’s also a bunch of Elevation of Privilege stuff which is just *fantastic*. And naturally, there’s a whole heap of other stuff ranging from annoying to potentially disastrous.

They’re saying actively exploit attempts are already happening for some of these, so don’t sit on your ass. Patch NOW. And if you haven’t figured out automated patching by now… well, frankly, you deserve whatever happens. Oh, and there’s a CVE for Azure too because *of course* there is.

Honestly, it’s just… exhausting. I swear, these vendors are actively trying to give hackers free keys to the kingdom. Get your act together, people!

Related Anecdote: Back in ’08, I was babysitting a network for a small firm that thought they were “too small to be targeted.” They hadn’t patched their Windows servers in… well, let’s just say it involved multiple calendar years. A simple SQL injection attack took the whole thing down. The owner then had the *gall* to ask me why I couldn’t “just fix it” without a backup. Some people are beyond help. Don’t be those people.
