Patch Tuesday February (56 vulnerabilities - one 0day)

Microsoft today released the monthly security updates, also known as Patch Tuesday. This month, the company fixed 56 security vulnerabilities along with a zero-day.

Το zero-day θα το βρείτε στο CVE--1732, και αφορά ένα σφάλμα στο Win32k, ένα βασικό στοιχείο του λειτουργικού συστήματος των Windows.

Zero-day has already been used for attacks on Windows systems to gain system-level access.

Of course, no details were revealed about these attacks.

Aside from the zero-day, this month's Patch Tuesday also stands out due to the large number of vulnerabilities it fixes.
