Patch Tuesday June and Microsoft released new cumulative updates to all its operating systems. So if you run Windows you should update them as soon as possible.
Patch Tuesday updates usually bring security improvements to Windows and in today's case versions, Microsoft says it resolves an elevation of privilege vulnerability.
“We are experiencing an elevation of privilege (EOP) vulnerability according to CVE-2022-30154 for the Microsoft File Server service Shadow Copy Agent. To protect yourself, you should install the June 14, 2022 update,” the company says.
“The application server runs the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) which stores data on the remote Server Message Block 3.0 (or later) located on a file server. The file server hosts the shared files. If you do not install the update on both machine roles, the functions backups performed by applications may fail. For such failure scenarios, the Microsoft File Server Shadow Copy Agent service will log FileShareShadowCopyAgent event 1013 on the file server. For more information, see KB5015527.”
