Security News > 2020 > October > Microsoft Releases Patches For Critical Windows TCP/IP and Other Bugs
Microsoft on Tuesday issued fixes for 87 newly discovered security vulnerabilities as part of its October 2020 Patch Tuesday, including two critical remote code execution flaws in Windows TCP/IP stack and Microsoft Outlook.
Another critical RCE vulnerability in Windows Hyper-V exists due to improper validation of input from an authenticated user on a guest operating system.
Two other critical RCE flaws affect Windows Camera Codec Pack, permitting an attacker to send a malicious file that, when opened, exploits the flaw to run arbitrary code in the context of the current user.
Other critical flaws fixed by Microsoft this month include RCE flaws in SharePoint, Media Foundation Library, Base3D rendering engine, Graphics Components, and the Windows Graphics Device Interface.
For installing the latest security updates, Windows users can head to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update, or by selecting Check for Windows updates.
