Microsoft Patch Tuesday, July 2017

July's Patch Tuesday brings patches for 54 CVEs, nearly half the number patched in June and back to the patch levels we saw in April and May. Over all there are 19 CVEs rated "Critical", 32 rated "Important" and 3 rated "Moderate".

Across all of these vulnerabilities security updates for software and services include:

  • Adobe Flash Player
  • Microsoft Windows
  • Microsoft Scripting Engine
  • Microsoft Edge Browser
  • Internet Explorer
  • Microsoft Office
  • WordPad
  • HTTP.sys
  • .NET

Twelve of the 19 CVEs rated "Critical" affect the Microsoft Scripting Engine and can result in Remote Code Execution. These vulnerabilities would typically be exploited by an attacker setting up a malicious website and luring victims to open it. The other critical CVEs are the regular cast of characters including Internet Explorer, Edge, and Windows. One odd man out on the list is Microsoft's HoloLens, their Augmented or "Mixed" Reality platform. Since the platform is still in its infancy and primarily targeted at developers rather than consumers, it's nice to see that security is being addressed so early.

Microsoft Office is back on the list of CVEs rated as "Important" including multiple Remote Code Execution vulnerabilities. Wordpad and Powershell also make this list with Remote Code Execution vulnerabilities. There are also several vulnerabilities in Microsoft services that might be publicly exposed. These include vulnerabilities in HTTP.sys, .NET, Microsoft Exchange and Sharepoint. Admins in charge of such servers should patch as soon as possible.
