Windows Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability CVE-2022-21989 Because Microsoft Dynamics customers can include small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) who may not have a regular patching program in place, these are important updates to call out.
#MICROSOFT CRITICAL UPDATES FEBRUARY 2016 CODE#
Both products are subject to remote code execution vulnerabilities.
There are six vulnerabilities that affect customers using older and on-premises versions of Microsoft Dynamics: Microsoft Dynamics GP, a predecessor of the current Microsoft Dynamics 365 and the on-premises version of Microsoft Dynamics 365. Microsoft Dynamics GP and Microsoft Dynamics 365 (on-premises) In this case, it impacts the Kestrel web server that is part of Visual Studio 2017 for Mac. It’s also worth noting CVE-2022-21986 Kestrel Web Server Denial of Service Vulnerability which also affects Visual Studio. The ramifications of this are that development environments that use the Visual Studio Code Remote Development Extension could be at risk from attacks targeting the integrity of the source code they develop, as we’ve seen in some supply-chain attacks over the years.
A successful attack could potentially put anything in that development environment at risk, including but not limited to source code, tools, documents or any other resources housed in that remote-enabled development environment. While this means only those development environments that have installed this are at risk, it also means that development environments that have installed this tool to enable remote development are at risk for a network-based code execution attack. This issue only affects systems configured to host a remote development environment.” Microsoft notes regarding this vulnerability that “ n attacker would need to send a specially crafted request to a host running the Visual Studio Code Remote Development Extension.

Microsoft’s page notes “The Remote Development extension pack allows you to open any folder in a container, on a remote machine, or in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and take advantage of VS Code’s full feature set.” This affects the Visual Studio Code Remote Development Extension. CVE-2022-21991 Visual Studio Code Remote Development Extension Remote Code Execution Vulnerabilityĭevelopers and those who manage developer environments should note there are two Visual Studio vulnerabilities this month, and CVE-2022-21991 is particularly notable. All of these mitigate the risks of active attacks against this vulnerability, at least in the near-term. And the credits indicate that this is an internal find by the Microsoft Offensive Research & Security Engineering (MORSE).

It is listed as “Exploitation Less Likely” for both the latest and older software releases. This would seem to indicate that a successful compromise of an Active Directory server using this could potentially give attackers control over Active Directory, putting the full network at risk.

Applying the update is the only thorough remedy.īased on the information provided about this CVE by Microsoft, it appears to be a SYSTEM-level code execution vulnerability in Microsoft’s DNS server, meaning that it’s network-based. Microsoft notes that there are at best, only partial mitigations to this vulnerability. This affects all instances of Windows DNS server, including those running Active Directory. While this vulnerability is rated as “Important”, organizations that use Active Directory may want to prioritize this as a “Critical” update. Notable Vulnerabilities Windows DNS Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability CVE-2022-21984 This change will be rolled out starting in April, 2022 with Version 2203.
Three of the vulnerabilities affecting Visual Studio and Windows are notable.Īlso, Microsoft has just announced a major change in how some Microsoft Office applications will handle macros in documents that come from the internet: VBA macros obtained from the internet will now be blocked by default. However, it’s not a month off: This month’s patches fix Microsoft Windows, Office, Microsoft Dynamics, the Edge browser, Microsoft Visual Studio, and some lesser known products. Only one is listed as being publicly known (still not critical), and none have been publicly exploited, according to the company. After fixing 64 vulnerabilities in December 2021 and fixing over 100 in January 2022, February presents 52 vulnerabilities.įebruary is also a quieter month, since at the time of release Microsoft rated none of the vulnerabilities critical. February 2022 provides a month of some respite after two relatively heavy and challenging months.
