CVE-2020-0636 [HIGH] Windows Subsystem for Linux Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Windows Subsystem for Linux Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Description: An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in the way that the Windows Subsystem for Linux handles files. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could execute code with elevated privileges.
To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would first need code execution on a victim system. An attacker could then run a specially crafted application.
The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Windows Subsystem for Linux handles files.
Windows Subsystem for Linux: Windows Subsystem for Linux
Impact: Elevation of Privilege

CVE-2020-0601 [HIGH] Microsoft Patch Tuesday — Jan. 2020: Vulnerability disclosures and Snort coverage
## Microsoft Patch Tuesday — Jan. 2020: Vulnerability disclosures and Snort coverage
By Jon Munshaw. Updated January 15th: Added an Advanced Custom Detection (ACD) signature for AMP that can be used to detect exploitation of CVE-2020-0601 by spoofing certificates masquerading as a Microsoft ECC Code Signing Certificate Authority.
Microsoft released its monthly security update today, disclosing vulnerabilities across many of its products and releasing corresponding updates. This month's Patch Tuesday covers 49 vulnerabilities, eight of which are considered critical.
This month's security update is particularly important for its disclosure of two vulnerabilities related to a core cryptographic component in all versions of Windows. CVE-2020-0601 could allow an attacker to use cryptography
