  3. Media RoundUp | Patch Tuesday June 2012

The June 2012 installment of Patch Tuesday was easily one of the most active of the year so far, in terms industry commentary and predictions, driven by the more than two-dozen security vulnerabilities across several of Microsoft's products. As I’m sure many of you are still catching up on the news, for your convenience I've included some of the more insightful coverage from this month's Patch Tuesday below.

I also encourage you to join us on a monthly basis for our Vulnerability Expert Forum (VEF) where we discuss in detail, that month's Patch Tuesday and cover other relevant news and events surrounding the security landscape.

You can sign up for July's VEF here.

PC Magazine | Patch Tuesday: Microsoft Updates IE, RDP, Certificate Tool By: Fahmida Y. Rashid "While any RDP vulnerability rated as “exploit code likely” by Microsoft should be taken very seriously, there is still more of a chance that the average IT environment will continue to be hit by drive-by client application style exploits," said Marc Maiffret, CTO at BeyondTrust.

ComputerWorld | Microsoft scrambles as it patches 26 bugs, warns users of active attacks By: Gregg Keizer Another expert, Marc Maiffret, chief technology officer at BeyondTrust, chided Microsoft for the constant patching of the same bug. "Here we are seven months after the original Duqu fix for TrueType font parsing and this same code reuse bug has reared its ugly head [again]," said Maiffret in an email. Read Entire Article
ZDNet | Patch Tuesday: Microsoft raises alert for dangerous IE, Windows flaws By: Ryan Naraine According to Marc Maiffret, CTO at BeyondTrust, the Internet Explorer and RDP issues present the “more immediate “Given the value of Remote Code Execution on RDP there will surely be a lot of folks trying to weaponize that vulnerability. Only time will tell if people are successful with this RDP flaw where they were not with the one in March,” Maiffret added. Windows users and administrators will also want to treat the MS12-038 bulletin with the highest possible priority. Read Entire Article
eWeek | Microsoft Patch Tuesday Release Fixes Flaws in Internet Explorer, Windows By: Brian Prince The MS12-037 bulletin, which contains 13 security fixes for Internet Explorer, is being regarded by Microsoft and some security researchers as one of the most important to deploy immediately. One of the vulnerabilities it fixes, CVE-2012-1875, is already being used in limited attacks in the wild. The bulletin also fixes CVE-2012-1876, which was used by VUPEN Security during the PWN2OWN contest held early this year at CanSecWest. "This is probably one of the most severe bulletins because exploit code is likely to be created for one or more of these vulnerabilities, which leads to the potential for drive-by malware attacks across all versions of Internet Explorer," said Marc Maiffret, CTO at BeyondTrust. "This, in our opinion, is one of the more important sets of patches to roll out as soon as possible." Read Entire Article
