Three Bulletins, Four Vulnerabilities for March
Following last month’s 12-bulletin release, which included two zero-day patches, today’s Patch Tuesday is relatively light. Microsoft released only three bulletins, which resolve four vulnerabilities affecting Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office.
Only one bulletin, which resolves vulnerabilities in DirectShow, Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center, is rated as “critical.” The other two bulletins are rated as “important. “ All three bulletins resolve vulnerabilities that could allow remote attackers to execute malicious code on vulnerable machines.
It is worth noting, however, that the MHTML vulnerability missing from last month’s release remains unpatched. Microsoft continues to offer workaround solutions on how to keep systems safe from possible attacks leveraging this vulnerability.
To keep systems up-to-date, users are advised to visit the related Microsoft pages. For enterprise users, we offer specific solutions to deal with vulnerabilities. Both Deep Security and OfficeScan with Intrusion Defense Firewall (IDF) plug-in have existing rules that protect users from the vulnerabilities patched in this month’s release, as well as the said MHTML flaw.
