Security News > 2020 > December > A light December 2020 Patch Tuesday for a no-stress end of the year
As expected, Microsoft fixed a smaller-than-usual number of CVEs on this December 2020 Patch Tuesday: 58 in total.
Satnam Narang, staff research engineer at Tenable, pointed out that CVE-2020-17132 addresses a patch bypass for CVE-2020-16875, which was reported and patched in September's Patch Tuesday release.
For December 2020 Patch Tuesday, SAP released 11 security notes and updated two previously released ones.
The most critical patch is for a missing authentication check vulnerability in SAP NetWeaver AS JAVA that has a "Perfect" CVSS score of 10.
"SAP Security Note #2974774, tagged with a CVSS score of 10, patches the aforementioned vulnerabilities. The patch is not provided for all support package levels The good news is that the note also provides a manual workaround that will prevent potential attackers from connecting to the P2P Server Socket port and from spying the communication between the cluster elements. This workaround can also be applied by customers running SAP NetWeaver AS JAVA on a support package level for which no patch is provided."
