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, because *of course* there is. It’s always Exchange. And don’t even get me started on the .NET Framework issues. Seriously, who still uses that ancient garbage?

They claim they fixed some Elevation of Privilege vulnerabilities too, which basically means someone with limited access could become an admin. Groundbreaking stuff, really. And as always, there’s a whole heap of “important” rated bugs that are just waiting to be exploited by the next ransomware gang.

So yeah, patch your systems. *Now*. Before some idiot ruins your week. And don’t come crying to me when you get pwned because you were too lazy to update. I’m busy.

Anecdote: Back in ’08, a client refused to patch their SQL Server because “it might break something.” Three days later they were hit with a worm that wiped the entire database. They *still* didn’t understand why it happened. Some people are beyond help. Honestly.
