A victim simply needs to be tricked into opening a file containing a specially crafted image on a vulnerable system.<\/p>\n<p>The Redmond giant said this week the exploitable bugs, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/portal.msrc.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security-guidance\/advisory\/CVE-2020-1457\">CVE-2020-1457<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/portal.msrc.microsoft.com\/en-us\/security-guidance\/advisory\/CVE-2020-1425\">CVE-2020-1425<\/a>, are in the Windows HEVC Codec Library that some applications use to process images.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of CVE-2020-1457, a successful exploit would lead directly to arbitrary code execution on the victim&#8217;s computer for the attacker, while Microsoft said CVE-2020-1425 would let the aggressor &#8220;obtain information to further compromise the user&#8217;s system&#8221; though it is also described as a remote-code-execution flaw.<\/p>\n<p>If there&#8217;s some good news to be had from this, it is that Windows 10 in its default setup is not vulnerable. The HEVC codec in question is an optional add-on downloaded from the Windows Store.<\/p>\n<p>Windows Server and older versions of Windows are not vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>It is relatively rare for Microsoft to post security updates outside of its normal Patch Tuesday cadence. In this case, Redmond said it went off-road because HEVC is a Windows Store download, and, therefore, not subject to the same patch release timings for built-in Windows 10 components.<\/p>\n<p>Credit for the discovery went to Abdul-Aziz Hariri working through Trend Micro&#8217;s Zero Day Initiative. The flaw was privately reported, and thus far there have been no reports of in-the-wild exploits.<\/p>\n<div class=\"promo_article\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/regmedia.co.uk\/2017\/07\/25\/download_patch_shutterstock.jpg?x=174&amp;y=115&amp;crop=1\" width=\"174\" height=\"115\" alt=\"Downloading a patch\"><\/p>\n<h2 title=\"VPN gear vulnerable to remote hijackings\">Cisco SMB kit harbors cross-site scripting bug: One wrong link click&#8230; and that&#8217;s your router pwned remotely<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2020\/07\/02\/cisco_smb_router_hole\/\"><span>READ MORE<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Microsoft&#8217;s next scheduled security update is July 14.<\/p>\n<p>On the bright side for Microsoft, folks at F-Secure <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.f-secure.com\/en\/consulting\/our-thinking\/rip-office365-command-and-control\">are applauding<\/a> the US tech titan&#8217;s security gurus for preventing botnet and malware operators from abusing Azure and Office 354 services.<\/p>\n<p>F-Secure&#8217;s Tim Carrington said his team can no longer use instances on either cloud service to function as command-and-control servers in its C3 framework.<\/p>\n<p>The C3 service functions as a sort of proof-of-concept botnet service that F-Secure offers to help companies test their networks and services against real-world attacks. The idea is that, if testers can get in using C3, it&#8217;s a safe bet that criminals can as well.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, Carrington explained, Microsoft has beefed up its detection and removal tools, and as a result any attempts to spin up a malware command-and-control server with Office365 or Azure are wiped out within three days.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Microsoft has risen to the challenge of using offence to inform defense. This has not only disrupted F-Secure Consulting&#8217;s red team operators, but delivered a killer blow to real-world threat actors,&#8221; Carrington said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Any effort by an organization that forces attackers to redevelop their toolkit, and results in the redistribution of resources, is a welcome sight.&#8221; \u00ae<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a href=\"https:\/\/go.theregister.com\/feed\/www.theregister.com\/2020\/07\/02\/microsoft_codec_rce_fix\/\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Redmond also praised for blocking malware control systems on its clouds Microsoft has emitted a pair of security patches to address flaws in Windows 10 that can be potentially exploited by miscreants to hijack PCs.
