Apple and Windows patch Tuesday for July, 2023

Hello folks,

Apple and Microsoft have had their patch tuesday this week. We recently posted about an RSR from apple, but it since has been removed, siting it doesn’t work in certain situations.

>Here is that blog post talking about the release of the RSR.

Besides this, plenty of things are going on over at Microsoft, and Krebs on Security has the full details.

Here is the first paragraph of the article. We have a mind blowing number of flaws this month, and this may be a record. That paragraph says:

Microsoft Corp. today released software updates to quash 130 security bugs in its Windows operating systems and related software, including at least five flaws that are already seeing active exploitation. Meanwhile, Apple customers have their own zero-day woes again this month: On Monday, Apple issued (and then quickly pulled) an emergency update to fix a zero-day vulnerability that is being exploited on MacOS and iOS devices.

I believe the last number this high was the around 120 vulnerabilities, so we’re just going up.

I mention this because I just read chapter 5 of my book and it talked about Microsoft’s past and the early worms.

The full article by Krebs is: Apple & Microsoft Patch Tuesday, July 2023 Edition so please read it when you get time.

Thanks so much for reading, make it a great day!
