Microsoft has finally released Tuesday's updates or Patch Tuesday this month. This time the installers of the updates are huge, mainly due to their lack of availability updates in February that passed us.
The company with Patch Tuesday of March released a total of 17 security bulletins to determine 134 vulnerabilities in its software. According to the announcement, 8 from the updates has been classified as critical.
So first of all, you should prioritize installing them MS17-006 and MS17-007, which are cumulative updates for Internet Explorer and Edge. The vulnerabilities they patch allow an attacker to take control of a system when the user browses to a malicious site with one of two browsers.
In addition, critical bulletins are also MS17-008, MS17-009, MS17-010And MS17-011. Of course they should be first on your priority list as they address vulnerabilities that allow remote execution code, in the versions of Windows that may be affected.
There is also another patch that fixes the vulnerabilities of the Windows operating system. It has the code name MS17-012, and Microsoft reports that the attackers are trying to exploit it using applications that are connected to an iSNS server and then issue malicious requests to the server.
