January 14Patch Tuesdayis finally here and it brings a lot of security improvements on allWindows 10versions.

While Microsoft’s latestsecurityvulnerabilitiesregarding thecrypt32.dll component of Windows grabbed all the attention, some people are worried about older threats that are, in one form or another, still present.

Windows 10 and Windows Server are vulnerable

Here’s what one concerned user issaying:

I’m surprised I’m not seeing any mention of CVE-2020-0609 and 0610 “Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop Gateway allows for unauthenticated remotecode execution“

Yes, that’s right, there are someRDP(Remote Desktop Protocol)vulnerabilitiesthat are getting patched, and they’re very similar with last year’s BlueKeep.

Before you panic, know that they aren’t nearly as big or as dangerous as BlueKeep. For more context, here are the 5bug fixesthat are getting resolved in this months Patch Tuesday:

Update your Windows right now to avoid malware attacks

You should know that thesevulnerabilitiesmay allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges on a vulnerable system, so the best thing is to update right away.

While theRemote Desktop Gateway and Web Access services are strictly related toWindows Server, the Remote Desktop Client is present on all Windows versions, so CVE-2020-0611 can be a real threat for anyone.

Toavoid any malware, data theft, or any other security risks, update your version of Windows to the latest available. You can do that automatically, through Windows Update, or manually, directly from Microsoft Update Catalog.
