[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.
