Other Notable Microsoft Security Patches for May 2021As for the other patches in the update that stood out to the research community, ZDI\u2019s Childs highlighted a Windows wireless networking information-disclosure bug, tracked as CVE-2020-24587.\n\n\u201cThe ZDI doesn\u2019t normally highlight info disclosure bugs, but this one has the potential to be pretty damaging,\u201d Childs said. \u201cThis patch fixes a vulnerability that could allow an attacker to disclose the contents of encrypted wireless packets on an affected system. It\u2019s not clear what the range on such an attack would be, but you should assume some proximity is needed. You\u2019ll also note this CVE is from 2020, which could indicate Microsoft has been working on this fix for some time.\u201d Windows Graphics, SharePoint Server PatchesA trio of local privilege escalation flaws \u2013 two in the Windows Graphics Component (CVE-2021-31188, CVE-2021-31170) and one in SharePoint Server (CVE-2021-28474) \u2013 caught Breen\u2019s eye.\n\nAs for the first two, he noted they could be chained with another bug, such as the wormable bug listed above, to become highly dangerous and allow for WannaCry-style attacks.\n\n\u201cThis kind of vulnerability is often used by attackers after they have already gained a foothold through an initial infection vector, like phishing or via another exploit like the RCE in HTTP.sys (CVE-2021-31166),\u201d Breen noted via email. \u201cThe attackers are looking to increase their privileges so they can move laterally across a network or gain access to other accounts that may have access to more sensitive information.\u201d\n\nMeanwhile, the SharePoint bug allows an authenticated attacker to run code on remote SharePoint Servers.\n\n\u201cAs this is post-authentication, it\u2019s likely to be used as part of post-exploitation and lateral movement phases of an attack, rather than the initial-infection vector,\u201d Breen said. \u201cAttackers could gain access to sensitive documents or even replace real documents with weaponized versions, enabling the compromise of more user devices across the organization\u2019s network.\u201d Microsoft Exchange Server PatchesMicrosoft also patched four vulnerabilities in Microsoft Exchange Server. The flaws (CVE-2021-31198, RCE; CVE-2021-31207, spoofing; CVE-2021-31209, security bypass; and CVE-2021-31195, RCE), are all rated important or moderate.\n\n\u201cCVE-2021-31195 is attributed to Orange Tsai of the DEVCORE research team, who was responsible for disclosing the ProxyLogon Exchange Server\u00a0vulnerabilities that [were] patched in an out-of-band release back in March,\u201d Satnam Narang, staff research engineer with Tenable, told Threatpost. \u201cWhile none of these flaws are deemed critical in nature, it is a reminder that researchers and attackers are still looking closely at Exchange Server for additional vulnerabilities, so organizations that have yet to update their systems should do so as soon as possible.\u201d\n\nAnd finally, Ivanti\u2019s Goettl noted that several Microsoft products have reached end-of-life and won\u2019t be getting support going forward.\n\n\u201cThis month marks the final update for several Windows 10 and Server [...]\n\n___________________________ \n@hacking_Attack\n@Hacking_Video", "creation_timestamp": "2026-09-02T01:03:18.840098Z"}
