Η Microsoft ανακάλυψε μια ευπάθεια απομακρυσμένης εκτέλεσης κώδικα (RSA από το Remote Code Execution) στις υπηρεσίες απομακρυσμένης ς εργασίας (Remote ) in older versions of Windows and a hotfix has been released.

The vulnerability is identified by CVE-2019-0708, and occurs at the pre-certification stage. So according to Microsoft you do not even need user interaction.

Most worrying, however, is that exploid could be released in the form of a worm, which means that it could spread from one device to another, like malware. WannaCry.

The affected versions of Windows are Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008. Windows 8 and Windows 10 are safe.

Supported versions of Windows, such as Windows 7, will automatically receive the update from Windows Update, while for non-supported operating systems, such as Windows XP, updates will have to be installed manually by Microsoft Update Catalog.

Microsoft says that until now it is not aware of any exploit but it is very likely that we will see the next one .

That's why if older systems update your computers immediately!
