Administrators Eric Posted August 15, 2019 Administrators Share Posted August 15, 2019 I just got the email below from my website ISP. I don’t do Windows, but I thought the rest of you might benefit from the info. On August 13th, 2019 it was announced that a serious vulnerability was discovered that affects nearly every version of Windows OS for servers and PCs. Here are some links to more information about this serious security flaw. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/microsoft-fixes-critical-windows-10-wormable-remote-desktop-flaws/ https://blog.qualys.com/laws-of-vulnerabilities/2019/08/13/august-2019-patch-tuesday-93-vulns-29-critical-7-remote-desktop-vulns-hyper-v-dhcp-adobe-vulns https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2019-1181 https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2019-1182 Here are the actions you need to take immediately to patch and protect your computer or server: Run Windows Updates and reboot your computer/server immediately.
