Seriously? *Another* Windows Fuckup
Right, listen up. Because apparently some people need it spelled out for them in crayon. Microsoft’s got two new zero-days flapping around in the wild. Two! Like they haven’t caused enough headaches already.
One of these is particularly lovely – it affects *every single version* of Windows ever released. Yes, you heard that right. From XP (still running on some idiot’s machine somewhere, I guarantee it) all the way up to whatever shiny new disaster they’re peddling now. It’s a vulnerability in how Windows handles fonts, allowing remote code execution. Fantastic.
The other one is in the Microsoft Graphics Component, also leading to remote code execution. Exploitation is actively happening – Chinese state-sponsored actors are already using it, naturally. Because of *course* they are. They’re targeting aviation and maritime industries, so expect a lot of “supply chain disruption” bullshit if you’re in those fields.
Patches are available (surprise!), but honestly? If Microsoft hadn’t built this mess to begin with, we wouldn’t *need* patches. Get your updates sorted, I guess. Though frankly, at this point, just throw the whole OS away and start over. It’d probably be less painful.
Don’t come crying to me when you get owned. You were warned.
Speaking of vulnerabilities, I once had to debug a system where someone decided it was a good idea to store passwords in plain text inside a comment block in a PHP file. A *comment block*. I swear, some people shouldn’t be allowed near a computer, let alone responsible for security. It makes dealing with Windows look positively sophisticated.
