It was Patch Tuesday today, March 8th, 2022. We're going to show you another vulnerability that you can cross off of your list, too.
As you probably already know, out of the 71 bugs that were fixed this month, one stands out if you use Windows Exchange Server.
In case you didn't know, Microsoft Exchange Server is a mail and calendar server made by the Redmond tech company. It runs only on Windows Server operating systems.
The Microsoft Exchange Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability is gone for good now, even if you had to deal with it or just heard about it and prayed you didn't get it.
It doesn't matter how many promises developers make that their software is safe, because no software is 100% safe, no matter how many they say. It's possible for someone to get hacked at any time in this ever-changing online world.
Some of you might not have known that Microsoft's operating systems are full of traps and dangerous bugs, but we already knew that, didn't we?
Experts say that the flaw would allow a trusted third party to run their code with more power through a network call.
This could have quickly turned into a dangerous situation for the person who was the target of these vicious cyberattacks.
As you saw, this vulnerability (CVE-2022-23277) is also listed as having low complexity and being more likely to be exploited. This means that we could see this bug used in the wild soon.
Keep this in mind if you were thinking about not installing this software on your computer. Even though you need to be authenticated to use this software, attackers can still do it.
Security experts say that users should immediately test and put this on their Exchange servers, which will make it less likely that they will be attacked.
Today, Adobe released a new set of Patch Tuesday updates for three of its products. This is a lot smaller than the number of updates that were released last month.
