Microsoft May 2019 Patch Tuesday - SANS Internet Storm Center

This month we got patches for 79 vulnerabilities from Microsoft and 1 from Adobe. From those, 23 are critical and 2 were previously known - including the one that has been exploited in the wild.

The exploited vulnerability (CVE-2019-0863) affects the way Windows Error Reporting (WER) handles files. It may allow a local attacker to elevate privileges and run arbitrary code in kernel mode. The CVSS V3 for this vulnerability is 7.8.

The other previously known (CVE-2019-0932) is an information disclosure vulnerability which affects Skype for Android. Exploiting this vulnerability, an attacker could listen to the conversation of a Skype for Android without the user’s knowledge.

Amongst critical vulnerabilities, it worth mentioning a remote code execution in Windows Remote Desktop Services (CVE-2019-0708). An unauthenticated attacker may exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted packets to the vulnerable service and then execute arbitrary code on the target system. It affects Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. The CVSS V3 score for this vulnerability is 9.8.

Last but not least, we have a new critical remote execution vulnerability affecting GDI+ (Windows Graphics Device Interface). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by convincing the user to open a specially crafted attachment in an e-mail or instant messenger, for example. The CVSS V3 for this vulnerability is 8.8.

UPDATE: Today's Patch Tuesday also addresses the new CPU side-channel attack published today known as Zombieload [1] (ADV190013). As Meltdown, Spectre, and Foreshadow the new flaw may allow an attacker to steal sensitive data and keys being processed by the CPU. To fix the issue you must apply OS updates provided by Microsoft today (not available for all versions yet) and firmware microcode from device OEMs. The details for this advisory are available at https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/ADV190013.

The Microsoft GDI+ patches are separate from the Nvidia GTX and RTX graphics Windows driver patches. Quadro and Tesla GPUs are also affected. If the drivers are OEM they may not update automatically.

Best info I have on this is from: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-driver-update-severe-security-vulnerability,39323.html

I find it rather fascinating that kb4494441 installed itself, successfully, twice so far on my system.
