It’s the day that some have been dreading for months: the first Microsoft Patch Tuesday without our old friends, the security bulletins that we turned to for a quick and dirty synopsis of each patch and what vulnerabilities it addressed.

That day was originally planned to come last month, but according to their announcement, problems with the patches caused Microsoft to postpone their release entirely – something that had never happened in the years that I’ve been writing the Patch Tuesday roundup articles – so we got a brief reprieve. This morning, I steeled myself for what I thought was the inevitable.

March 2017 – Microsoft Patch Tuesday. Debra Littlejohn Shinder on March 15. MS17-010 (KB 4013389) This is an update for the Windows SMB Server service in all supported versions of Windows, including RT and the server core installations. It is rated critical for both client and server operating systems. And use-after-free. This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows. The most severe of the vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if an attacker sends specially crafted messages to a Microsoft Server Message Block 1.0 (SMBv1) server. To learn more about.

Imagine my surprise when, just for fun, I went to the Security Bulletins web site and found that the March Bulletins summary and bulletins were there, just like always. Instead of weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, there’s rejoicing in the streets – at least here in my home office.

I know it’s only a temporary panacea. The March Bulletin summary contains the following statement:

As a reminder, the Security Updates Guide will be replacing security bulletins. Please see our blog post, Furthering our commitment to security updates, for more details.

That blog post is from November and says the Bulletins will go away after January, so I have no clue on what the real timeframe is now. But I won’t look a gift security bulletin in the mouth. Next month, we might (or might not) be changing the format of this post to match the new way of getting the information, but for now, it’s business as usual.

As you might expect, given that Microsoft skipped releasing updates in February, this month is a killer. We have a whopping 18 patches to address, although of course not everyone will be dealing with all of them. Nine of them are rated critical.

While most of the updates are for Windows, there is also a patch for Exchange Server and a couple for Office. We also have the usual Internet Explorer and Edge browser cumulative updates. In addition, some of the updates are for Windows roles or features that not everyone will have enabled.

It’s a big plate of updates, so let’s dig in:

Critical updates

MS17-006 (KB4013073) This is the monthly cumulative update for Internet Explorer versions 9, 10 and 11, running on all currently supported versions of Windows. It is rated critical for client operating systems and moderate for servers.

The update addresses 12 vulnerabilities. Vulnerability types include remote code execution, browser spoofing, elevation of privilege, information disclosure and security feature bypass, with memory corruption issues that can lead to RCE being the most serious. There are no mitigations or workarounds published.

The update fixes the problems by changing the way the browsers, JScript and VBScript handle objects in memory, parse HTTP responses, and restricting what information is returned to affected browsers.

MS17-007 (KB4013071) This is the monthly cumulative update for the Edge browser, running on Windows 10 and Server 2016. It’s rated critical for the client and moderate for the server.

The update addresses an impressive 32 vulnerabilities, which include a plethora of memory corruption issues that can be exploited for remote code execution, along with browser spoofing, elevation of privilege, information disclosure and security feature bypass. There is an interesting PDF memory corruption vulnerability by which Windows 10 systems with Edge set as default browser could be compromised simply by viewing a web site.

The update fixes the problems by changing the way the browsers, JScript and VBScript handle objects in memory, parse HTTP responses, and restricting what information is returned to affected browsers.

MS17-008 (KB4013082) This is an update for Hyper-V in Windows, running on all supported versions of Windows client and server operating systems. Some of these vulnerabilities affect the server core installation. It is rated critical for all.

The update addresses 11 vulnerabilities, which include remote code execution, denial of service, and information disclosure. In all cases, systems that do not have the Hyper-V role enabled are not affected.

The update fixes the problems by preventing out-of-bound memory access, correcting how Windows Hyper-V validates vSMB packet data, and correcting how Hyper-V validates guest operating system user input.

MS17-009 (KB4010319) This is an update for the Windows PDF Library in Windows 8.1 and RT 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2, and 2016. It is rated critical for all. Trophy bass 3d patch download.

The update addresses a single vulnerability, which is a PDF memory corruption issue (also addressed and discussed in the cumulative browser update above). Windows 10 systems with Microsoft Edge set as the default browser can be compromised simply by viewing a website. The browsers for other affected operating systems do not automatically render PDF content, so an attacker would have no way to force users to view attacker-controlled content.

The update fixes the vulnerability by modifying how affected systems handle objects in memory.

MS17-010 (KB4013389) This is an update for the Windows SMB Server service in all supported versions of Windows, including RT and the server core installations. It is rated critical for both client and server operating systems.

The update addresses six vulnerabilities, which include five SMB remote code execution vulnerabilities and one SMB information disclosure issue. There is an identified workaround that involves disabling SMBv1 and is described in the security bulletin at https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/MS17-010

The security update fixes the problems by correcting how SMBv1 handles specially crafted requests.

MS17-011 (KB4013076) This is an update for Uniscribe in all supported editions of Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012, Windows RT 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 10, Windows 10 Version 1511, Windows 10 Version 1607, and Windows Server 2016. It is rated critical for all.

(Uniscribe is the Microsoft Windows set of services for rendering Unicode-encoded text).

The update addresses 29 vulnerabilities of both the remote code execution and information disclosure type. They could be exploited via web-based or file-sharing attacks. There are no identified mitigations or workarounds.

The update fixes the problems by correcting how the Windows Uniscribe handles objects in memory.

MS17-012 (KB4013078) This is an update for Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 10 Version 1607 and Windows Server 2016, and Important for Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows
