The project overseeing the programming language is releasing patches Wednesday, with the internet racing to patch the 9.2 rated flaw.

In its October Patch Tuesday, the tech giant addressed more defects in one month than any annual total on record. Nearly 4 in 5 vulnerabilities affect Windows.

While the vendor hit another monthly record, it hasn’t resulted in a flood of active exploits. Researchers encourage customers to focus on their specific areas of risk…

Industry has quickly developed tools meant to guide and direct frontier LLMs in cybersecurity. Attackers aren’t far behind.

The company forewarned customers and defenders that a flood of defects would be uncovered by AI. It delivered with a striking exponential increase.

Fears and warnings about a roaring flood of error-riddled software have materialized. And the disease is spreading.

The vendor said six of the 83 vulnerabilities it addressed this month are more likely to be exploited.

Microsoft said three of the exploited vulnerabilities were publicly known, suggesting attackers already had details about the defects prior to Tuesday’s release.

Researchers said the information disclosure zero-day exposes sensitive information that attackers can use to undermine defenses and make other exploits more reliable.

The vendor, which has been widely targeted, said the memory-overflow vulnerability can result in remote-code execution or denial of service.
