Microsoft April 2018 Patch Tuesday
Microsoft today patched 66 different vulnerablities. In addition, Adobe patched 6 vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash.
24 of the vulnerabilities are characterized as "Critical" by Microsoft, and 42 are considered "Important"
Among all these vulnerabilities, there are a couple that stick out:
CVE-2018-1034: This one has already been made public before the patch was released. It is a XSS vulnerability in Sharepoint. XSS vulnerabilities in Sharepoint are very common and are patched pretty much every month.
CVE-2018-0956: Interesting because it affects HTTP/2. We have not yet seen many vulnerabilities in HTTP/2 implementations, but as people start deploying it more, I expect to see more vulnerabilities. HTTP.sys, the vulnerable component patched here, implements HTTP for Microsoft's web server (IIS).
CVE-2018-0986: This vulnerability in Microsoft's Malware Protection Engine was patched last week.
CVE-2018-0976: A denial of service in RDP, which is often exposed to the network.
CVE-2018-0967: Same for SNMP.
