[NOTICE] Microsoft Critical Vulnerabilities that You Must Patch Coming Tuesday

Hey HF,
Just here to give you a heads up that Microsoft has scheduled to release a few critical patches this coming Tuesday, along with the final patches to Windows XP before its final drop of support. It is essential that you update your OS as soon as these are released.

These patches will fix:
  • Remote code execution vulnerability in Microsoft Word 2010 (CVE-2014-1761)

  • Web-based attacks using RTF vulnerability

  • Local filesystem RTF vulnerability

  • Internet Explorer buffer overflow vulnerability

  • Miscellaneous security flaws in the Windows OS


Stay secure, HF 🤝
@Everyone: I believe that all MS Word exploits in the wild are getting patched. That will hurt a few HF shops.
This is some good news for the white-hats out there. Will be a blow for the black-hat hackers.
