Microsoft Patch Tuesday — Oct. 2019: Vulnerability disclosures and Snort coverage

Summary: Microsoft's October 2019 Patch Tuesday disclosed 60 vulnerabilities, nine rated critical and the rest important, spanning the Chakra Scripting Engine, Windows, SharePoint and other services. Cisco Talos released Snort rules 51733-51736, 51739-51742 and 51781-51794 to cover some of the flaws, including CVE-2019-1333, a client-side RDP remote code execution bug triggered when a user connects to a malicious server.
Bottom line: CVE-2019-1333 needs only a user connecting to an attacker-controlled RDP server, which social engineering or a man-in-the-middle position can arrange, and success hands the attacker remote code execution on the victim's machine.
