June Patch Tuesday: WSUS Needs Your Attention

By News, Patch Management, Patch TuesdayOne Comment

June Patch Tuesday: WSUS Needs Your Attention

Microsoft has released 91 patches today—the largest release of the year so far. For those using WSUS 3.0 SP2, one update must be manually installed.

Patch Tuesday Release

Microsoft have released 91 patches today covering IE, Edge, ChakraCore, Skype, Windows and Office. There are 21 rated Critical and 66 Important, which so far this year is the largest release of this year. Thankfully no updates in this release are being exploited yet, but the sheer number of updates will certainly keep your IT manager busy this month.

Urgent – WSUS needs your manual attention for KB4484071

Microsoft is continuing its SHA1 to SHA2 signing process this month, with two planned changes. Windows 10 updates are automatic, but for those customers using WSUS 3.0 SP2, KB4484071 must be manually installed to support SHA2 updates.

Robert Brown, Director of Services said, “This has caught a lot of our readers out over the past few months. If your device does not support SHA2, you are not downloading the latest content which is making your devices safe.”

Could CVE-2019-1069 be the next BlueKeep?

Many of our IT staff utilize the Windows Scheduler to perform complex software installations, as it is super useful for installing software following complex reboot operations or installing software when there is no user logged on. Both our Cyber Security Analysts and other respected insider peers are highly concerned that this “Publicly Disclosed” vulnerability could be the next BlueKeep threat, due to the potential catastrophic exploit potential of this threat.

Adobe Updates

Thankfully, unlike Microsoft Adobe have only released 10 updates for Reader and Flash Player. All updates are Critical or Important priority 2 meaning IT Admins should install these updates within the next 30 days.

We have made a few recommendations below which you should prioritize, use Syxsense to organize and deploy Windows, third-party, Mac OS and Linux updates to keep your environment safe.

Not Your Usual Patch Tuesday: Rare Patch for Legacy Systems

By News, Patch Management, Patch TuesdayNo Comments

Not Your Usual Patch Tuesday: May Updates

May includes a rare but urgent patch for previously unsupported versions: Windows XP, 7 and Server 2003.

Microsoft has released a security fix for several unsupported versions of Windows, including Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. If you are a user of either of those systems, you need to patch now.

The vulnerability, CVE-2019-0708, is a potentially ‘wormable’ flaw that could result in a malware attack like WannaCry. To exploit the vulnerability “an attacker would need to send a specially crafted request to the target systems Remote Desktop Service via RDP,” Microsoft officials noted.

“The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) itself is not vulnerable. This vulnerability is pre-authentication and requires no user interaction. In other words, the vulnerability is ‘wormable’, meaning that any future malware that exploits this vulnerability could propagate from vulnerable computer to vulnerable computer in a similar way as the WannaCry malware spread across the globe in 2017,” explains Microsoft officials in today’s Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) blog post.

Even though unsupported, Windows 7, XP, and Server 2003, still account for over 35% of the Microsoft-based installations. This vulnerability could potentially affect over 400 million PCs worldwide.

Desktop Windows Version Market Share Worldwide - April 2019

Additionally, Remote Desktop alone has already been recognized as an insecure method of remote connection, whether using VPN or not.

An IT solution like Syxsense will facilitate a comprehensive patching strategy as well as offer a fully-encrypted Remote Control to ensure all systems are up to date and protected.

Organizations must act now and implement a proactive approach to securing their networks. An IT solution like Syxsense will facilitate a comprehensive patching strategy to ensure all systems are up to date.

Patch Tuesday Release

Microsoft have released 79 patches today covering IE, Edge, ChakraCore, .NET Framework, Azure, Windows and Office. There are 22 rated Critical and 57 are Important. In this release there are no Moderate or Low in severity, but this is up over last month’s release of 74 updates, so will keep you even busier than April.

Publicly Known & Active Exploits: Prioritize Now

Two of the updates CVE-2019-0863 and CVE-2019-0932 are “Publicly Discovered” where CVE-2019-0863 is already reported to be used in the wild where they are able to run arbitrary code in kernel mode. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with administrator privileges – you must prioritise them now.

Robert Brown, Director of Services for Verismic said, “To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker must first gain unprivileged execution on a victims operating system which given the number of Remote Code Execution vulnerabilities in this release makes this specific vulnerability your number 1 priority.”

Adobe Updates

Adobe have released a shockingly huge release this month, counting up to 84 updates for Reader and Acrobat. All updates are Critical or Important priority 2 meaning IT Admins should install these updates within the next 30 days.

By News, Patch Management, Patch TuesdayNo Comments

April Patch Tuesday: Stop Active Exploits

Microsoft's security release for April covers 74 vulnerabilities in a wide range of products, including two actively exploited zero-days.

Microsoft have released 74 patches today covering IE, Edge, Exchange, Windows and Office. There are 13 rated Critical and 61 are Important. In this release there are no Moderate or Low in severity but this is up over last month’s release of 64 updates, this release will keep you busy.

Prioritize Active Exploits

Two of the updates CVE-2019-0803 and CVE-2019-0859 are “Being Exploited” meaning you should  prioritise them now. Robert Brown, Director of Services for Verismic said, “You should treat these updates with the highest importance because a similar vulnerability this year in Win32k elevation caused some significant global intrusions via malware infections.”

Adobe Updates

Adobe have released 8 updates today, for Reader, Flash, Shockwave, InDesign and Dreamweaver and a few others. The update for Flash is Critical meaning IT Admins should install these updates within the next 30 days.

Some Features Updates are Now Retired

Act now to keep your environment future proofed as updates will automatically uninstall.

Today the Windows 10 feature update version 1709 (and previous) is retired on Home, Pro and Pro for Workstations editions.

March Patch Tuesday: Eliminate the Exploits

By News, Patch Management, Patch TuesdayNo Comments

March Patch Tuesday: Eliminate the Exploits

It's the second Tuesday of March, which means it's time for another round of Patch Tuesday security updates.

Microsoft has released 64 patches today covering IE, Edge, Exchange, Windows and Office. There are 17 rated Critical, 45 rated Important, 1 is rated Moderate and 1 is rated Low in severity—this is much less than last month’s release of over 80 updates, however there are still some surprises in this release to keep you busy.

Prioritize Now: Public Announced and Current Exploits

Four of the updates CVE-2019-0683, CVE-2019-0754, CVE-2019-0757 and CVE-2019-0809 are marked as “Publicly Disclosed” meaning there is an increased risk of attack in the very near future, and two updates CVE-2019-0797 & CVE-2019-0808 are marked as “Being Exploited” meaning you should prioritize them now.

Robert Brown, Director of Services for Verismic said, “You should treat these 6 updates with the highest importance, and you should especially treat CVE-2019-0797 & CVE-2019-0808 as a Zero Day because active exploits means actual attempts on your networks by those who wish to expose your data.”

Adobe Patches Flash, Photoshop and Digital Editions

Adobe has given a slight reprieve to IT managers this month by releasing only 3 updates: one for Flash, Photoshop and Digital Editions. Although these updates carry a Critical severity, they are ranked by Adobe with a Priority of 3 meaning administrators should install these updates at their discretion.

Features Updates Due for Retirement

On April 9, the Windows 10 feature update version 1709 will be due for retirement on Home, Pro and Pro for Workstations editions. If you are still using Enterprise or Education editions, you have another year to plan your upgrade.

Use Syxsense to organize and deploy Windows, third-party, Mac OS and Linux updates to keep your environment safe. Our clients love having control over when and where the scanning and deployment of updates takes place, providing peace of mind to any IT department.

Adobe Patches Critical Flaw Twice in One Week

By News, Patch ManagementNo Comments

Adobe Patches Critical Flaw Twice in One Week

In a matter of days, Adobe has patched a critical information disclosure flaw in Reader twice.

Adobe has been tripping over its own patches this week.

After its original fix failed, Adobe has issued yet another patch for a critical zero-day vulnerability in its Acrobat Reader. The previous vulnerability (CVE-2019-7089) was resolved last week in Adobe’s February 12 patch release. It was described as a sensitive data leak issue which can lead to information disclosure when exploited.

Cure53 researcher, Alex Inführ, originally reported the zero-day vulnerability in Adobe Reader. The exploit could permit attackers to steal victims’ hashed password values, known as “NTLM hashes.”

Despite an embarrassing few days, Adobe has issued a second patch (CVE-2019-7815) that will hopefully resolve the issue. This should serve as a reminder for the importance of third-party patching—ensure you never miss an update with Syxsense.

February Patch Tuesday: Disable Windows Update

By News, Patch Management, Patch TuesdayOne Comment

February Patch Tuesday: Disable Windows Update

It's the second Tuesday of February, which means it's time for another round of Patch Tuesday security updates from Microsoft.

Microsoft has released almost 80 security patches today covering IE, Edge, Exchange, Windows, .NET Framework and Office. There are only 20 rated Critical, 54 rated Important, and 3 are rated Moderate in severity.

Four of the updates released CVE-2019-0636, CVE-2019-0686, CVE-2019-0646 and CVE-2019-0647 are marked as “Publicly Disclosed” meaning there is an increased risk of attack in the near future. Although they are marked Important, we would highly recommend these updates be prioritized this month.

Why should you disable Windows Update?

Many of our customers are concerned that updates released by Microsoft cause significant user disruption, and are simply unable to keep up with the constant fire fighting bad patches give an IT department.

The first reaction is not to patch. This places your environment and users’ identity at risk of exposure, and risk a total network breach. Leaving Windows Update enabled in its default setting downloads and installs all updates released by Microsoft on the same day they are released, leaving your IT department no time to test.

Our clients like the way Syxsense provides the control over when and where the scanning and deployment of updates takes place, providing much relieved stress to any IT department. Ask us how Maintenance Windows can help schedule any patch deployment over high dispersed environments.

Adobe Releases Over 70 Updates

Acrobat and Reader from version 2019.010.20069 and earlier for both Windows and Mac OS are affected. All updates carry a Priority Rating of 2 meaning there is an elevated risk of exploit although no active exploits are known to exist in the wild.

Robert Brown, Director of Services said, “Adobe use their Priority Rating to illustrate how quickly users should update their systems, in this case they recommend within 30 days. Users using Mac OS who usually update their systems manually can truly benefit from the remote patching capability of Syxsense which enables automation over a typical otherwise manual method.”

Of the 71 updates released today, 43 are rating Critical. If exploited, this would allow malicious native-code to execute, potentially without a user being aware.

Is it time to replace IE?

Over the past several months there is an increasing amount of “Actively Exploited” updates being fixed by Microsoft. CVE-2019-0676 is no exception, and as it involved Internet Explorer which is still highly used we would recommend this update be one of your top priorities.

If you wish to replace IE with another browser, Syxsense can deploy the software throughout your environment, and better still your new browser can be kept up date using the Patch Manager solution. Replace your IE browser before an exploit ruins your Valentine’s Day.

Patch Tuesday: January Updates

By News, Patch Management, Patch Tuesday, UncategorizedNo Comments

Patch Tuesday Release: The Latest News

Microsoft has released 49 security patches today. There are seven Critical severity patches in this release however almost half resolve a remote code execution issue.
Eleven of the others are important remote code execution patches, and one of these patches is listed as publicly known which we are highly recommend be prioritized this month.

Adobe Flash, Connect and Digital Editions

Adobe has released updates for Adobe Flash Player for Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS.  These updates address feature and performance bugs, but do not include security fixes.

The Adobe Connect update resolves an important session token exposure vulnerability and the update for Adobe Digital resolved a vulnerability which if successful exploitation could lead to information disclosure in the context of the current user.
All of these updates are Priority 3, which means Exploitation is not known or likely.

CVE-2019-0579

Although this update has a Severity rating of Important, is publicly disclosed, and although there is no evidence that this is being actively exploited in the wild, these types of updates are commonly used to expose customer environments – as demonstrated by the independent CVSS score of 7.8 out of 10.
Robert Brown, Director of Services for Verismic said, “You should not leave Windows Update in its automatic mode as updates like this would typically be lower priority and therefore not deployed automatically. You should have enough information to make informed choices in your selection of patches, and that includes being able to see independent CVSS scores and whether the vulnerability has been made Public or known to be Actively Exploited.”
Syxsense provides that information so you do not need to reply on default Windows Update patching.

7GB of Storage – ‘Reserve Storage’

Windows doesn’t check if a device has enough space before installing an update. The current solution is for users to manually delete unnecessary temporary files and temporarily move those files like photos and films to external storage to make enough space.

Microsoft have announced that a future “Quality Update” could automatically earmark 7GB of storage on your local hard drive to future proof any download of large updates going forward.
What is concerning is this space cannot be retrieved or paid back to Windows – so any device with the older generation SDD drives or smaller hard drive are likely to run out of space.

Ransomware Aftershocks: August Third-Party Patch Update

By News, Patch ManagementNo Comments
[vc_single_image image=”12822″ img_size=”medium”]

Ransomware Aftershocks

Even after remediation, the effects of ransomware can still be felt. The feelings of security have been stripped away and replaced with a nauseating sensation of vulnerability.

A public TV and radio station in San Francisco, KQED, knows this feeling. After being infected with ransomware demanding 1.7 bitcoin per PC, the FBI advised wiping the infected computes.

Even a month after the attack, the station is still doing work to fix the affected machines. But what has also been a surprise is the damage was to more than just their data. The wireless network and email servers went down at their headquarters, so they moved operations to UC Hastings. It has interrupted all levels of work, from broadcast to hiring of new employees.

This radio station isn’t the only company reeling long after a ransomware attack. Fedex has been reported as saying that was affected by NotPetya and that some damage was permanent. It’s expected that this business interruption will create significant decreases in revenue.

[vc_single_image image=”12386″ img_size=”200×200″]

The most effective way to protect yourself and your business against disaster is keeping your systems up to date. Malware relies on the idea that people won’t keep their software 100% up to date. And for good reason, keeping everything updated can be a nightmare. But utilizing a solution like Syxsense can simplify everything. CMS can show you at a glance which devices have out of date software. You can then quickly build a task to deploy needed updates.

Paint.net_v4.0.17
  • Added: “Fluid mouse input” option in Settings -> UI -> Troubleshooting. If you see major glitches while drawing, try disabling this.
  • Improved: Default brush size, font size, and corner radius size now scales with major DPI scaling levels (brush size of 2 at 100% scaling, brush size of 4 at 200% scaling, etc)
  • Improved: Default image size now scales with major DPI scaling levels (800×600 at 100%, 1600×1200 at 200%, etc.)
  • Improved performance and drawing latency by removing explicit calls to System.GC.Collect() except when low memory conditions are encountered
  • Improved performance by greatly reducing object allocation amplification by reducing the concurrency level when using ConcurrentDictionary, and by removing WeakReference allocations in favor of direct GCHandle usage
  • Improved: Performance and battery usage by ensuring animations always run at the monitor’s actual refresh rate
  • Improved (reduced) CPU usage when moving the mouse around the canvas
  • Removed: “Hold Ctrl to hide handle” from the Text tool because it was not useful and caused lots of confusion
  • Fixed: Various high-DPI fixes, including horrible looking mouse cursors caused by a bug in the latest .NET WinForms update
  • Fixed: Gradient tool no longer applies dithering “outside” of the gradient (in areas that should have a solid color)
  • Fixed: Very slow performance opening the Effects menu when lots of plugins are installed after installing the Windows 10 Creators Update
  • Fixed: When cropping and then performing an undo, the scroll position was totally wrong
  • Fixed a rendering glitch in the Save Configuration dialog (it would “wiggle”)
  • Fixed: At certain brush sizes, the brush indicator on the canvas had a visual glitch in it due to a bug in Direct2D
  • Fixed: Text tool buttons for Bold, Italics, Underline were not localized for a few languages
  • Fixed a rare crash in the taskbar thumbnails
  • Fixed: Drawing with an aliased brush and opaque color (alpha=255) sometimes resulted in non-opaque pixels due to a bug in Direct2D’s ID2D1RenderTarget::FillOpacityMask
  • Fixed: “Olden” effect should no longer cause crashes (it still has some rendering artifacts due to its multithreading problems, however)
