• February missing security patch toll: Two zero-days and counting

    Posted on February 28, 2017 at 11:28 CST by • Comment in the Forums

    Good report from Dan Goodin at Ars Technica.

    Google’s Project Zero sticks to its 90-day notification policy, and a second 0day has been revealed, this time apparently involving CSS tokens.

    The details are important. For example, there’s no exploit code available for this second 0day. But the first 0day, involving a gdi32.dll heap boundary, is still at large.

    So is the SMBv3 bug that causes crashes, and may lead to deeper exploits.

    Security patches are scheduled to resume on March 14.
