For September 2019, Microsoft is releasing 78 CVEs. Of these CVEs, 17 are rated "Critical", 60 rated "Important", and one rated "Moderate". Additionally, this release includes the regular rollup patch for critical vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash, but you're no longer using Flash right?
The vulnerabilities rated as "Critical" include the standard ones affecting the scripting engine most often used during web browsing. Four new "Critical" CVEs have been issued for the Remote Desktop Client. After the Bluekeep (CVE-2019-0708) vulnerability was patched back in May, there has been a lot of focus on RDP and security. Luckily there are no known "in the wild" exploits for these new Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerabilities and even Bluekeep just received a beta module for Metasploit last week, three months after the patch release. This tells us what we should already know. If you can keep your patches up to date, you will greatly reduce your risk exposure. Also of interest on the "Critical" list are three CVEs covering RCE vulnerabilities in Microsoft SharePoint, a new RCE for Microsoft shortcuts (LNK files) and an RCE for Azure DevOps and Team Foundation Server.
On the list of "Important" CVEs the story is primarily about Privilege Escalation. Two CVEs were publicly disclosed before today's patches were released. One is for the Windows Text Service Framework (CVE-2019-1235) which was disclosed on Aug 23rd. The other is for Windows Secure Boot (CVE-2019-1294) where setting certain debug options for Secure Boot prior to a reboot could allow an attacker to bypass the secure reboot function in the future.
More importantly are two Privilege Escalation that have been seen exploited in the wild. One affects the Windows Common Log File System (CLFS) Driver (CVE-2019-1214) and the other affects the Winsock driver ws2ifsl.sys (CVE-2019-1215). Both are memory corruption issues that could allow an attacker that is already logged into a vulnerable system to elevate their user privilege to system level access.
Those two "in the wild" exploits alone should be enough to get everyone patching today, so I'll leave you admins to it and see you next month. Until then, stay safe.
