‘Badlock’ Bug Tops Microsoft Patch Batch
Summary: Microsoft released 13 patches on Tuesday covering dozens of vulnerabilities, including a Samba file-sharing bug dubbed Badlock that affects seven flaws and could let attackers on a network intercept traffic, view or modify passwords, or shut down services. Adobe separately updated Flash Player to fix 23 additional flaws on top of an emergency zero-day patch issued the prior Friday, with the newest version at 21.0.0.213 for Mac and Windows.
Why it matters: Two of the Microsoft Graphics Component fixes target vulnerabilities already seen in exploits in the wild, and badlock.org warns active exploitation of the Samba flaws is likely soon - so the patch window on these is already closing.
