June's Patch Tuesday reveals 23 ways to remotely pwn Windows – and over 100 more bugs that could ruin your day

Microsoft has given IT admins and folks another busy Patch Tuesday with 129 security vulnerabilities to address. The Redmond giant has posted fixes for CVE-listed bugs in its latest monthly security update, including 23 that allow for remote code execution. The massive bundle is not entirely unexpected, as security experts …

Isn't the title the inverse? "23 ways to STOP remotely pwn Windows..."

I think these patches are meant to correct flaws in all these systems/applications rather than introduce new ones.

However, given the players, I could be mistaken.

Well as the article says patch Tuesday then exploit Wednesday.

I’m sure someone will be busy working out how to exploit machines which haven’t got the patches installed yet, and probably have something out to spam users with tonight...

Patches

Patch Tuesday reveals the ways Windows et al can be pwned, with patches to stop that from happening. The patches disclose not only the way in which the bugs can be exploited but provides enough material for reverse engineers to product exploits.

Past experience shows today is exploit Wednesday...becuse that's when Tuesday patches have been reversed engineered.

Just the normal heartbeat

Patch Tuesday for My Asus Router also

I'm not sure whether to be upset because this is the 7th firmware update in the last two years, or to be smug because my 3+ year old router is still getting security updates. My experience with a Samsung phone only getting one year of updates has definitely lowered my expectations.

Re: Patch Tuesday for My Asus Router also

I wonder how many people check and install updates for their router?

No need to reply....

Re: Patch Tuesday for My Asus Router also

Wish it were possible with mine. My ISP has locked the OS down so much I can't do anything reasonable with the bloody thing.

Roll on next week when I get a replacement unit to try and configure and plug in.

I can decode it to hex for you, but after that you're on your own.
