Summer is officially here and with it June's Patch Tuesday. This is a surprisingly light month with only 49 CVEs being patched and only five of those rated as "Critical". The list of "Critical" includes a Remote Code Execution (RCE) Microsoft's anti-malware software, Defender. It's always a double hit when the software meant to protect your system ends up being a threat that can cause compromise. In addition, you'll find RCEs in the MS Scripting Engine, SharePoint, and VP9 Video Extensions on that list. Most concerning is an RCE vulnerability in the MSHTML Platform (CVE-2021-33742). This CVE has been publicly disclosed and exploited in the wild in targeted campaigns.
Public exploitation exists on the list of CVEs rated as "Important" too. This includes Privilege Escalation bugs in DVM Core (CVE-2021-33739), the Microsoft Enhanced Cryptographic Provider (CVE-2021-31199, CVE-2021-31201), and Windows NTFS Drivers (CVE-2021-31956). Lastly, an Information Disclosure vulnerability in the Windows Kernel (CVE-2021-31955) has also been discovered exploited in the wild.
All in all, while a relatively light month for patching, several of these vulnerabilities are being actively exploited. Despite exploitation likely being limited and targeted, the very fact that exploitation is occurring already puts administrators behind in patching. So there's no time to spare. Get to patching and stay safe!
