Microsoft confirms three zero-day security vulnerabilities, one already coming under attack, and other critical issues for millions of Windows 10 and Server users.
is the zero-day vulnerability that Microsoft confirms as already being exploited. Perhaps surprisingly, despite being an exploited zero-day, it only gets an important rating from Microsoft unless, and this is where things get a little complicated, it is chained with New Technology LAN Manager relay attacks.
as they are known, can be used to attack Windows domain controllers and other servers. If combined, the zero-day severity rating is boosted to a 9.8 criticality. Luckily, this is far from a simple attack to pull off, although obviously possible as the 'actively exploited' label demonstrates. Windows users should ensure the update is applied as soon as is possible as a result.
