The March Patch Tuesday is here and it's been an unfortunately busy month for Microsoft. Earlier last week they released information on a campaign targeting Microsoft Exchange Server with multiple zero-day exploits. We released information about this campaign yesterday and those affected should absolutely be working on updating their systems if they haven't already.
Today's release covers an additional 88 CVEs including 14 rated as "Critical", 73 rated as "Important", and 1 as "Low". Additional patches for MS Exchange Server are included in the Critical list and Microsoft released patches for EOL versions of MS Exchange as well via a manual Cumulative Security Update. You can read more about that here.
While the Exchange vulnerabilities are without a doubt the most pressing patches. There is plenty to be concerned about this Tuesday. On the Critical list are patches for Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerabilities in Windows DNS Server, Hyper-V, and Azure Sphere. The Important list includes patches for server packages like MS Exchange, Sharepoint, Visual Studio, Windows DNS, and the Update service itself. The list also patches for multiple client-side software like the MS Office suite, Internet Explorer, DirectX, ActiveX, and various media codes.
All in all, March brings with it some of the most important patches in at least a year. Please patch as soon as you can and stay safe!
