Microsoft September 2021 Patch Tuesday

This month we got patches for 86 vulnerabilities. Of these, 3 are critical, 1 vulnerability (MSHTML Vulnerability) was previously disclosed and is being according to Microsoft.

As expected, Microsoft released the patch for the zero-day (CVE-2021-40444) affecting MSHTML that could allow an attacker to execute remote code on an affected system. According to the advisory, an attacker could craft a malicious ActiveX control to be used by a Microsoft Office document that hosts the browser rendering engine. The attacker would then have to convince the user to open the malicious document. The CVSS for this vulnerability is 8.80 (out of 10).

Also of note is a critical vulnerability in Microsoft Open Management Infrastructure (CVE-2021-38647). This open-source project lead by Microsoft implements web-based enterprise management standards and the vulnerability may be used for remote code execution. The CVSS for this vulnerability is 9.80.

Finally, a remote code execution affecting Windows WLAN AutoConfig Service was fixed (CVE-2021-36965). According to the advisory, this vulnerability affects virtually all supported Windows versions, may be exploited by an attacker on an adjacent network, requires no privilege and no user interaction. The CVSS for this vulnerability is 8.80.
