This morning, I went ahead nd rebooted before the Security Box, as the computer indicated it had updates to install. I read the article on Krebs on Security, and this is the only article out at this time. This month, 120 security bugs have been patched. This makes the 6th straight month of over 100 patches during this trying time for the Washington based company.
At least 17 of the bugs squashed in August’s patch batch address vulnerabilities Microsoft rates as “critical,” meaning they can be exploited by miscreants
or malware to gain complete, remote control over an affected system with little or no help from users. This is the sixth month in a row Microsoft has shipped
fixes for more than 100 flaws in its products.
For complete information including links to several CVE’s, please check out Microsoft Patch Tuesday, August 2020 Edition for complete details. If I see more, I’ll be sure to pass it along!
