This month we got patches for 122 vulnerabilities. Of these, 14 are critical, 5 are being exploited and 2 were previously disclosed. 

The highlight for this month goes to the Microsoft Exchange Server vulnerabilities that are being exploited and for which Microsoft has made available the emergency patches on March 2. If you have this software in your environment, especially if the service is exposed to the internet, and did not apply the patches, in addition to apply the patches, it is imperative that you check if your system could have been already compromised. Johannes published a diary summarizing the vulnerabilities and giving advices on how to check for evidence of compromise.

In addition to the 4 Microsoft Exchange Server vulnerabilities, there is a fifth vulnerability being exploited which have been previously disclosed. This is a RCE affecting Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11 (CVE-2021-26411) on multiple Windows versions. According to the vulnerability advisory, to exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would have to convince a user to access a malicious website, like in a phishing scenario. The exploit is publicly disclosed, and exploitations were already detected. 

The highest CVSS score this month (9.90) was given to the Windows Hyper-V Remote Code Execution Vulnerability (CVE-2021-26867). The vulnerability advisory says that any Hyper-V client which is configured to use the Plan 9 file system could be vulnerable. An authenticated attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability on a Hyper-V client could cause code to execute on the Hyper-V server.

And for the second month in a row, there is a critical RCE vulnerability affecting Windows DNS Server (CVE-2021-26897) with a CVSS of 9.80. According to the advisory, the vulnerability affects any DNS Server – being it a standalone DNS Primary Authoritative Server or a DNS Server integrated with Active Directory. It also informs that to be vulnerable, a DNS server would need to have dynamic updates enabled.
