Microsoft released patches for nine critical vulnerabilities as part of its October Patch Tuesday security update, including one for a Remote Desktop bug that could allow a remote attacker to execute code on victims’ machines.
Overall, Microsoft issued fixes for 59 vulnerabilities – including nine critical, 49 important and one moderate in severity.
“This month, the Microsoft release is on the smaller side, with security patches for 59 CVEs and no new advisories,” said Dustin Childs, with the Zero Day Initiative.
