December 2020 Microsoft Patch Tuesday: Exchange, Sharepoint, Dynamics, and DNS SpoofingFor the last Patch Tuesday of the year, Microsoft provided updates fixing 58 vulnerabilities, which is at the low end of what we have seen this year. 9 of the vulnerabilities are rated critical.

The largest CVSS score is 8.8 this month, which was assigned to vulnerabilities affecting Microsoft Dynamics. The 6 vulnerabilities in Microsoft Exchange should also not be ignored. One of the vulnerabilities is an information disclosure problem. But the other 5 vulnerabilities are remote code execution issues. Note that older Exchange vulnerabilities still remain unpatched at some organizations and have been used in attacks this last year. 

Sharepoint remains another regular participant in patch Tuesday with two remote code execution vulnerabilities, one reaching a CVSS score of 8.8.

In addition, Microsoft released an advisory regarding a DNS spoofing vulnerability. This DNS spoofing issue involves fragmentation, but Microsoft is not very specific as to the exact methodology. There have been a few different fragmentation related cache spoofing issues that people have written about in the last few years. The workaround is to avoid fragmentation by reducing the buffer size to 1221 bytes, which should be small enough to not cause fragmentation. As a side effect of the workaround, you may see more TCP port 53 traffic to your DNS servers.

I did not see an advisory regarding Adobe Flash. This would be the last month for an Adobe Flash advisory which will officially be retired at the end of the year.
