Saleem Rashid shows that a patch for a security bug in Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016/2019 could be exploited in the real world to spoof security certificates on machines without the patch. This week Microsoft was forced to quickly patch a security bug in Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016/2019 that could have allowed attackers to spoof legitimate security certificates as a way of gaining control of an infected PC.

What's so special about the latest Patch Tuesday is that one of the updates fixes a serious flaw in the core cryptographic component of widely used Windows 10, Server 2016 and 2019 editions that was discovered and reported to the company by the National Security Agency of the United States. What's more interesting is that this is the first security flaw in Windows OS that the NSA reported responsibly to Microsoft, unlike the Eternalblue SMB flaw that the agency kept secret for at least five years and then was leaked to the public by a mysterious group, which caused WannaCry menace in 2017.
