This month we got patches for 75 vulnerabilities. Of these, 8 are critical, 3 were previously disclosed, and one is already being exploited according to Microsoft.

The already exploited vulnerability is a spoofing vulnerability affecting Windows LSA (CVE-2022-26925) with a CVSS score of 8.1. According to the advisory, “An unauthenticated attacker could call a method on the LSARPC interface and coerce the domain controller to authenticate to the attacker using NTLM. This security update detects anonymous connection attempts in LSARPC and disallows it.” Additionally, Microsoft advises that further actions, detailed in KB5005413, are needed to protect the system after applying the patch. Microsoft also advises prioritizing domain controllers when applying patches. Regarding attack complexity, the advisory says it is “Complex” given that the attacker must inject themselves into the logical network path between the target and the resource requested by the victim in order to read or modify network communications (MITM attack).

The highest CVSS score this month (9.8) is associated with a Remote Code Execution (RCE) Vulnerability affecting Windows Network File System (CVE-2022-26937). The vulnerability does not affect version NFSV4.1. So, as temporary mitigation, disabling versions NFSV2 and NFSV3 might be helpful. A similar vulnerability affecting NFS, discovered by the same researchers, was patched last month (CVE-2022-24497).

There is also an RCE CVSS 9.8 affecting Windows LDAP (CVE-2022-22012). According to the advisory, "this vulnerability is only exploitable if the MaxReceiveBuffer LDAP policy is set to a value higher than the default value. Systems with the default value of this policy would not be vulnerable". 

It's also worth mentioning an elevation of privilege vulnerability affecting Active Directory Domain Services (CVE-2022-26923). The vulnerability is present only on systems Active Directory Certificate Services on the domain. According to the advisory, “An authenticated user could manipulate attributes on computer accounts they own or manage, and acquire a certificate from Active Directory Certificate Services that would allow elevation of privilege”. The CVSS for this vulnerability is 8.8.
