Important Microsoft Vulnerabilities Patched

CVE-2022-21984 – Windows DNS Server Remote Code Execution (RCE) Vulnerability

This vulnerability has a CVSSv3.1 score of 8.8/10. The Microsoft DNS server has a Remote Code Execution (RCE) flaw that has been fixed with this patch. The server is only affected if dynamic updates are enabled, but this is a relatively common configuration. An attacker might entirely take control of your DNS and execute code with elevated privileges if you have this set up in your environment.  

Exploitability Assessment: Exploitation Less Likely.

CVE-2022-21989 – Windows Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

This vulnerability has a CVSSv3.1 score of 7.8/10. A low-privilege AppContainer could be used to launch a successful attack. The attacker could get elevated privileges, allowing them to run code or access resources with a greater level of integrity than the AppContainer execution environment.

Exploitability Assessment: Exploitation More Likely.

CVE-2022-22003 – Microsoft Office Graphics Remote Code Execution (RCE) Vulnerability

This vulnerability has a CVSSv3.1 score of 7.8/10. This Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability affects Microsoft Office Graphics. For successful exploitation, a user needs to be tricked into running malicious files.

Exploitability Assessment: Exploitation Less Likely.

CVE-2022-22005 – Microsoft SharePoint Server Remote Code Execution (RCE) Vulnerability

This vulnerability has a CVSSv3.1 score of 8.8/10. This Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability affects Microsoft SharePoint Server. An attacker must be authenticated and have page creation access on SharePoint to exploit the flaw.
