Microsoft October 2019 Patch Tuesday is a light one
No zero-days this month. Only 59 security updates.
Microsoft has released today the October 2019 Patch Tuesday security updates. This month's updates can be considered light.
For more than a year, Microsoft has been patching actively exploited zero-days and 80+/90+ vulnerabilities on a monthly basis.
But this month, after a long while, there were no zero-days, a small batch of 59 bugs, of which only nine received a "Critical" rating -- which should, in theory, reduce the probability of patches screwing up Windows features and user systems, as it usually happens after bulky updates.
Because Patch Tuesday data may sometimes be hard to digest due to its sheer size, we summarized the main points in the list below.
We also included data from the security bulletins published by other companies, since many tech firms like to sync security updates with Microsoft's Patch Tuesday, and have sysadmins patch everything in one go.
- Microsoft's official Security Update Guide portal lists all security updates in a filterable table.
- Then there's this one-page put together by ZDNet.
- Additional analysis of today's Patch Tuesday is also available from Cisco Talos, SANS ISC, Tenable, and Trend Micro.
- Microsoft patched an IE zero-day in an out-of-band update last month -- first made available as a manual update, and then later delivered via Windows Update.
- There's another RDP remote code execution bug this month, but this one's nowhere near as dangerous as the BlueKeep and DejaBlue bugs - considered wormable.
- This month, Microsoft patched four memory corruption issues in the Chakra Scripting Engine (ships with Microsoft Edge) that can lead to remote code execution.
- No Adobe security updates this month.
- The SAP security updates are detailed here.
- The Android Security Bulletin is out. Maintainers of the Android OS did not include a fix for a recently disclosed zero-day impacting Samsung, Huawei, and Xiaomi devices.
- However, Google delivered patches for Pixel devices -- see Pixel Security Bulletin for CVE-2019-2215.
