Security News > 2021 > June > Update Your Windows Computers to Patch 6 New In-the-Wild Zero-Day Bugs

Microsoft on Tuesday released another round of security updates for Windows operating system and other supported software, squashing 50 vulnerabilities, including six zero-days that are said to be under active attack.

The flaws were identified and resolved in Microsoft Windows,.

Microsoft didn't disclose the nature of the attacks, how widespread they are, or the identities of the threat actors exploiting them.

The Windows maker also noted that both CVE-2021-31201 and CVE-2021-31199 address flaws related to CVE-2021-28550, an arbitrary code execution vulnerability rectified by Adobe last month that it said was being "Exploited in the wild in limited attacks targeting Adobe Reader users on Windows."

"While we were not able to retrieve the exploit used for remote code execution in the Chrome web browser, we were able to find and analyze an elevation of privilege exploit that was used to escape the sandbox and obtain system privileges," Kaspersky Lab researchers said.

To install the latest security updates, Windows users can head to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update or by selecting Check for Windows updates.
