Introduction to KB5022845
Microsoft released KB5022845 as a security update for PowerPoint. This update addresses a critical remote code execution vulnerability that exists in PowerPoint when it fails to properly handle objects in memory. This could allow an attacker to take control of an affected system.
To exploit this vulnerabilities, an attacker would need to convince a user to open a specially crafted file or visit a malicious website. Once the attacker has gained access, they could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
Microsoft recommends that users apply this update as soon as possible. It is rated as critical for all supported versions of PowerPoint and Windows.
What is the Purpose of a Microsoft Patch?
Microsoft releases patches on the second Tuesday of every month as part of their Patch Tuesday cycle. These patches are designed to address security vulnerabilities in Microsoft products and services.
While some patches may be optional, it is generally recommended that all users install them as soon as possible. This is because vulnerabilities can be exploited by malicious actors to gain access to systems or data.
Installing patches in a timely manner helps to keep systems and data safe from potential attacks.
What Does KB5022845 Do?
Microsoft’s latest patch, KB5022845, is a security update for Windows 10 that includes fixes for a number of vulnerabilities. Among these are two critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) flaws that could allow an attacker to take control of an affected system. The first RCE flaw, CVE-2020-1268, affects the way Microsoft Edge treats objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited this flaw could take control of the affected system. The second RCE flaw, CVE-2020-1269, is related to the way Windows 10 handles input from devices such as keyboards and mice. An attacker who successfully exploited this flaw could take control of the affected system. In addition to these two critical RCE flaws, KB5022845 also addresses a number of other vulnerabilities, including two important Elevation of Privilege (EoP) flaws. Successful exploitation of either of these EoP flaws could allow an attacker to gain elevated privileges on an affected system. As always, we recommend installing updates as soon as they are released to keep your systems secure.
