Nonetheless, once it infects a host, CVE-2018-8453 would allow an attacker to elevate his access from a simple guest user and run code in kernel mode.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights,&#8221; Microsoft said in an <a href=\"https:\/\/portal.msrc.microsoft.com\/en-US\/security-guidance\/advisory\/CVE-2018-8453\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">advisory<\/a> today.<\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_ZD_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\">\n<\/section>\n<p>Fixes for this zero-day have been made available for all supported versions of Windows.<\/p>\n<p>The fixes are part of Microsoft&#8217;s monthly security updates &#8211;known as the Patch Tuesday updates. This month, Microsoft has patched 49 vulnerabilities across mainstream products such as Windows, Edge, Internet Explorer, Office, Exchange Server, and .NET Core.<\/p>\n<p>Of the 49 patches this month, 18 were classified with a &#8220;critical&#8221; severity marking. The zero-day received an &#8220;important&#8221; classification because it didn&#8217;t leak to direct compromise.<\/p>\n<p>ZDNet has summarized today&#8217;s Patch Tuesday release in an HTML table, hosted <a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.rawgit.com\/campuscodi\/Microsoft-Patch-Tuesday-Security-Reports\/master\/Reports\/MSRC_CVEs2018-Oct.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.
