This is the week that updates are pushed out. Kim Komando had something in today’s newsletter about driver updating too, and the article was well written, but I’m not clear really how to update those. Since I don’t know what I run, and when I tell it to check for updates and it says it can’t find one, I know nothing about where to go for such things.
I can’t seem to find the Trend Micro version of the security updates for this month, but Brain Krebs is on it with the article Microsoft Patch Tuesday, February 2022 Edition.
One of the biggest patches is CVE-2022-22005 which is a weakness in Microsoft’s sharepoint service.
Another CVE is CVE-2022-21996 hicwhich is an an elevation of privilege vulnerability in the core Windows component “Win32k.”.
CVE-2022-21989 deals with the ongoing print nightmare issues that have plagued Microsoft for quite awhile now.
There’s plenty more, we’ll be covering Windows Update as part of this next week’s program.
