CVE-2018-0959 [HIGH] Windows Hyper-V Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Windows Hyper-V Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Description: A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Windows Hyper-V on a host server fails to properly validate input from an authenticated user on a guest operating system. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker could run a specially crafted application on a guest operating system that could cause the Hyper-V host operating system to execute arbitrary code.
An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could execute arbitrary code on the host operating system.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Hyper-V validates guest operating system user input.

[HIGH] May 2018 Patch Tuesday – Medium Weight, However One Active Exploit Needs Attention
This May’s Patch Tuesday has quite a few Microsoft fixes for both the OS and browsers. In all, 67 unique CVEs are addressed in 17 KB articles, with 21 CVEs marked Critical. 32 of these CVEs reference Remote Code Execution, 19 of which are Critical. Those who use Hyper-V have some updates to pay attention to as well.
## OS, Browser and Office
In terms of prioritization, we recommend patching user-facing assets first, with a focus on OS, browser patches, and Office to resolve scripting engine vulnerabilities.
We recommend you first test and deploy the fixes for CVE-2018-8174 , which addresses how the scripting engine handles memory objects. It should be noted that Microsoft lists this patch as Exploitation Detected, so this update should get immediate attention.
