Threat Source newsletter (Dec. 12, 2019)
Summary: Cisco Talos disclosed more than one vulnerability per working day in 2019, many in internet-of-things and ICS devices, and this week added highlights including a remote code execution bug in Apple's Safari and a denial-of-service in the Linux kernel. Talos also discovered two of the bugs Microsoft patched in the final Patch Tuesday of 2019, both in Windows Remote Desktop Protocol in older versions of Windows.
What you should know: Two of the last Patch Tuesday's fixes were RDP flaws in older Windows versions found by Talos - the same remote-access path adversaries have used to move laterally across networks, so unpatched legacy systems remain the exposure.
