The attacker could also take advantage of compromised websites and websites that accept or host user-provided content or advertisements.

All other web browsing should be performed with a supported browser.\u201d CVE-2021-31194The third critical bug exists in the Microsoft Windows OLE Automation, which in and of itself should place it on the priority-patch list, according to researchers.\n\n\u201cTo exploit the vulnerability, an attacker could host a specially crafted website designed to invoke OLE automation through a web browser,\u201d explained Justin Knapp, Automox researcher. \u201cHowever, this approach requires that the attacker bait a user into visiting the maliciously crafted website.\u201d\n\nHe pointed out that OLE technology has frequently been used to mask malicious code within documents and for linking to external files that infect systems with malware.\n\n\u201cIn 2020, the CISA released an alert detailing the top 10 routinely exploited vulnerabilities, which identified Microsoft\u2019s OLE as the most commonly exploited technology by state-sponsored cyber-actors,\u201d he said. \u201cConsidering the prevalent exploitation of OLE vulnerabilities, including those that had been flagged years ago, organizations should immediately prioritize patching all outstanding OLE vulnerabilities.\u201d See Also: Hacking Stories: Xbox UndergroundCVE-2021-28476The last critical bug is found in Windows Hyper-V, which is a native hypervisor that can create and run virtual machines on x86-64 systems running Windows. It can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code, Knapp said:\u00a0\u201cTo exploit this vulnerability, an attacker could run a specially crafted application on a Hyper-V guest that could cause the Hyper-V host operating system to execute arbitrary code when it fails to properly validate vSMB packet data. Successful exploitation could enable an attacker to run malicious binaries on Hyper-V virtual machines or execute arbitrary code on the host system itself.\u201d\n\nThat said, Microsoft noted that an attacker is more likely to abuse the bug for DoS attacks in the form of a system crash rather than RCE, Childs pointed out, which mitigates the vulnerability\u2019s CVSS score of 9.9.\n\n\u201cBecause of this, it could be argued that the attack complexity would be high, which changes the CVSS rating to 8.5,\u201d he said. \u201cThat still rates as high-severity, but not critical.

Critical Microsoft Security Patches for May 2021The critical bugs in this month\u2019s Patch Tuesday release are:\n\n* CVE-2021-31166: A wormable HTTP protocol-stack issue in Windows 10 and some versions of Windows Server allowing remote code-execution (RCE)\n* CVE-2021-26419: A scripting-engine memory corruption vulnerability in Internet Explorer 11 and 9 allowing RCE\n* CVE-2021-31194: An RCE bug in the Microsoft Windows Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) Automation\n* CVE-2021-28476: An RCE vulnerability in Microsoft Windows Hyper-V CVE-2021-31166 \u2013 WormableThis most concerning critical bug for researchers is an HTTP protocol-stack issue that would allow RCE with kernel privileges or a denial-of-service (DoS) attack. The HTTP protocol stack enables Windows and applications to communicate with other devices; it can be run standalone or in conjunction with Internet Information Services (IIS).\n\n\u201cIf exploited, this vulnerability could enable an unauthenticated attacker to send a specially crafted packet to a targeted server utilizing the HTTP protocol stack (http.sys) to process packets and ultimately, execute arbitrary code, and take control of the affected system,\u201d Eric Feldman, cybersecurity researcher with Automox, wrote in an analysis.\nSee Also: Lemon Duck Cryptojacking Botnet Changes Up Tactics Worse, Microsoft noted that the bug is wormable, so that it could be used to self-replicate across the internal network and affect internal services that may not have been exposed.\n\n\u201cThe vulnerability announced has the potential to be both directly impactful and is also exceptionally simple to exploit, leading to a remote and unauthenticated DoS (Blue Screen of Death) for affected products,\u201d Steve Povolny, head of advanced threat research and principle engineer at McAfee, said via email. \u201cWhile this vulnerability has the potential to lead to code execution in the Windows kernel, this type of weaponization is a much higher bar for exploitation. However, if RCE can be achieved, cybercriminals would likely have the capability to create a worm, leading to self-propagation of the vulnerability across networks and the internet.\u201d\n\n\u201cFor ransomware operators, this kind of vulnerability is a prime target for exploitation,\u201d Kevin Breen, director of cyber-threat research at Immersive Labs, told Threatpost. \u201cWormable exploits should always be a high priority, especially if they are for services that are designed to be public facing.
