February 2020 Patch Tuesday: Microsoft fixes 99 vulnerabilities, Adobe 42
2020-02-11 20:59

To mark the occasion, Microsoft has released fixes for 99 vulnerabilities - 12 critical, one of which is being exploited in the wild - and Adobe 42, most of which are critical and none actively exploited.

Microsoft fixed nearly 100 vulnerabilities this Tuesday, interspersed through a number of products: Windows, Edge, IE, SQL Server, Exchange Server, Office, and more.

Five of the vulnerabilities fixed in this batch are publicly known and one is under active attack: CVE-2020-0674.

"Overall, this is a very heavy Patch Tuesday on the Microsoft end," noted Jay Goodman, Technical Marketing Manager at Automox.

"The race to patch critical vulnerabilities on your systems within the next 72 hours is on. Attackers will have no shortage of exploitable vulnerabilities and new attack vectors to bring to bear in the coming days with nearly every build of Windows accounted for with critical vulnerabilities."
