Patch reliability is unclear, but widespread attacks make patching prudent. Go ahead and patch, but watch out for potential problems. |

MS-DEFCON 2: Zero days unpatched
Posted on June 9, 2022 at 02:45 CDT by Susan Bradley • Comment in the ForumsISSUE 19.23.1 • 2022-06-09 By Susan Bradley
Once again, we are faced with several zero days that are plaguing Office and Windows.
Accordingly, I am raising the MS-DEFCON alert level to 2.
At this time, the vulnerabilities are being used in targeted attacks and ones that are more probing in nature (probes test the ability of the attack to get in but don’t take action). So far, we have not seen widespread attacks, but there are some ways you can proactively protect yourself.
Anyone can read the full MS-DEFCON Alert (19.23.1, 2022-06-09).
