The patch has also addressed vulnerabilities that were first published by Twitter user @SandboxEscaper last month.
Expert source Allan Liska, threat intelligence analyst at Recorded Future, a security research firm has detailed the vulnerabilities that Microsoft has addressed with today’s update.
“In addition to these vulnerabilities, Microsoft has released a patch for a memory corruption vulnerability in its Chakra Core scripting engine. This primarily impacts Microsoft Edge, but it allows an attacker to gain remote access to a system by using a script to corrupt memory and then having the attacker execute loader that calls out to their command and control infrastructure. Because this vulnerability allows an attacker to gain remote access it should also be prioritized for patching,” explains Allan Liska, threat intelligence analyst at Recorded Future.
