⚡ TL;DR | Go Straight to the January 2024 Patch Tuesday Audit Report
Patch Tuesday is once again upon us. As always, our team has put together the monthly Patch Tuesday Report to help you manage your update progress. The audit report gives you a quick and clear overview of your Windows machines and their patching status. The January 2024 edition of Patch Tuesday brings us 56 new fixes, with 2 rated as critical. We’ve listed the most important changes below.
Windows Kerberos Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability
We start this Patch Tuesday off with CVE-2024-20674, with a CVSS base score of 9 and Microsoft lists it as being more than likely to be exploited. By abusing the vulnerability, an attacker can bypass authentication.
Microsoft provided additional details regarding the exploitation:
An unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by establishing a machine-in-the-middle (MITM) attack or other local network spoofing technique, then sending a malicious Kerberos message to the client victim machine to spoof itself as the Kerberos authentication server.
Microsoft
The one major condition is that the attacker will need to access the network first before being able to execture and attack.
Windows Hyper-V Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
The second critical vulnerability this month is one in Hyper-V, CVE-2024-20700. Microsoft doesn’t provide a lot of information on this vulnerability but unlike the Kerberos vulnerability this one isn’t listed as being likely to be exploited. Similar to the previous vulneraiblity, an attacker does need access to the network first.
Microsoft SharePoint Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Another vulnerability that is marked as likely to be exploited is CVE-2024-21318. An attacker does need to be have access to the “Site Owner” permission. If successfull, an attacker can inject arbitrary code and execute this code in the context of SharePoint Server.
