CVE-2017-0291 [HIGH] Windows PDF Remote Code Execution
Windows PDF Remote Code Execution
Description: A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Windows if a user opens a specially crafted .pdf file. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerabilities could cause arbitrary code to execute in the context of the current user.
If a user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker could take control of the affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
The update addresses the vulnerabilities by modifying how Windows parses .pdf files.

[HIGH] Microsoft Fixes 94 Security Issues in Massive June Update | Qualys
Today Microsoft released patches to fix 94 vulnerabilities out of which 27 fix remote code execution issues which can allow an attackers to remotely take control of victim machines. This is a massive update and fixes more than double the number of vulnerabilities as compared to the last two months.
Microsoft also released Security Advisory 4025685 which includes patches for older platforms due to heightened risk of exploitation. In my opinion this should be treated as a blue-print for future attacks and updates for EOL operating systems should be applied as soon as possible. Older platforms include Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Vista and Windows 8 and older issues like MS08-067, MS09-050, MS10-061, MS14-068, MS17-010, MS17-013 are patched.
