Seriously?! More Vulnerabilities?

Right, listen up. Apparently, some bozos are still finding holes in stuff. This week’s delightful serving of security crap comes courtesy of a bunch of issues – mostly in Microsoft Windows (surprise, fucking surprise). We’re talking about vulnerabilities in the graphics component that could let attackers run code remotely. Like anyone *isn’t* already trying that.

There’s also some nonsense with Citrix ADC and NetScaler stuff needing patching because, naturally, it’s got flaws too. And as if that wasn’t enough, they found problems in a few other bits of software I don’t even bother remembering the names of. Honestly, who *designs* this crap?

The usual advice applies: patch your systems. Now. Before some script kiddie turns your network into a botnet. And for god’s sake, enable automatic updates if you have any shred of common sense. Don’t come crying to me when you get owned.

Oh, and they mention some new malware campaigns. Because why *wouldn’t* there be? It’s a never-ending cycle of stupidity and exploitation. Just fantastic.

Seriously, I need a drink. A strong one.

Related Anecdote (Because You People Need Context)

I once had to deal with a system admin who hadn’t patched his servers in *six months*. Six months! He claimed he was “waiting for stability.” Stability?! Your network is basically an open invitation at that point. I swear, some people just want to get hacked so they can have something interesting to talk about at the water cooler. Pathetic.
