January Patch Tuesday tackles 50 bugs, with eight rated critical, all as it pushes out its last regular Windows 7 patches.
A major crypto-spoofing bug impacting Windows 10 users has been fixed as part of Microsoft's January Patch Tuesday security bulletin.
"A successful exploit could also allow the attacker to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks and decrypt confidential information on user connections to the affected software," wrote Microsoft in its advisory on January's Patch Tuesday.
For its first Patch Tuesday of the year, Microsoft fixed 50 vulnerabilities, eight of them critical.
One of the critical bugs is classified as a Windows RDP Gateway Server RCE flaw, nearly identical to another bug fixed this month.
