Patch Tuesday, May 2021

May 11, 2021 3 minutes read Karl Sigler

May's Patch Tuesday is upon us and probably the most surprising thing about the release is that somehow it's already May. Otherwise, this is a pretty light release of "only" 55 CVE compared to the recent months of zero-day campaigns and mass patches. With only three CVEs rated "Critical", 50 rated "Important", and two "Moderate", this release contains just a little over half the number of CVEs patched in previous releases this year.

There are three CVEs rated as "Critical", two are in general components used across multiple Microsoft products, specifically OLE and the MS Scripting Engine which could be used across their Office Suite and Web Browsing software. The final CVE in the Critical list is in the HTTP protocol stack implemented in Microsoft Web Server. Since these servers are typically publicly exposed to the Internet, exploits targeting this vulnerability could be made wormable hopping from system to system by using newly exploited boxes to continue the spread.

Luckily there are no public exploits for these vulnerabilities (yet), so please get patching as soon as you can to keep ahead of the bad guys!
