SANS ISC Diary – Ugh, Another Day, Another Clusterfuck

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 – meaning some script kiddie can probably own your system just by showing you a pretty picture. Fantastic. There’s also a bunch of stuff in Exchange Server, which, honestly, who even *uses* that anymore without a death wish? And don’t even get me started on the .NET Framework issues. It’s always .NET, isn’t it?

They claim they fixed some Elevation of Privilege vulnerabilities too, but let’s be real, those are just covering their asses after letting someone *get* privilege in the first place. And there’s a whole heap of other stuff – SMB, kernel issues, you name it. It’s a full-body system thrashing if you ask me.

So yeah, patch your systems. Now. Before some idiot exploits this garbage and ruins your week. And don’t come crying to *me* when things go sideways because you were too lazy to update. I have better things to do than hold your hand through basic security hygiene.

Honestly, the whole thing is just…infuriating. Green level threat? More like a screaming red one thanks to Microsoft’s incompetence.

Speaking of patching, I once had to roll back a Windows update on 300 servers because it bricked the network adapters. Three hundred! The vendor’s “solution” was to reinstall Windows on every single one. You think *I* have time for that? I swear, sometimes I feel like my job is just cleaning up after these people…
