![]() With the top 4 being the most recently modified and most likely the core of the various exploits. Just from an RDP standpoint the following files are critical: Somewhere around 30 are classified as critical issues for things like HTTP DoS attacks and some RCE vulnerabilities in the Office suite. There are seven different RDP vulnerabilities and approximately 92 security updates. You DO NOT include your critical vulnerability patches in a bundle that installs for 15 minutes, then restarts your server and spends some time in offline to finalize all your security updates. When you want to protect your clients as soon as possible, you ensure the patch is as quick as possible and not disruptive. I DO have a problem that Microsoft decides to include these 2 critical fixes in a 700-1500MB bundle. I have no problems with the size of the cumulative updates. The 1809 or 1903 version of this update is relatively small in comparison. If you are on LTSB then yes, the cumulative updates will be quite large. The only reason for that large file is due to the version of Windows you must be running (1607). Then you're just adding another system to the monthly cycle but side-stepping a lot of the pitfalls that happen on fresh installs or forced wrote: This can be mitigated fairly easily by either collecting all of the SSUs and applying them via DISM or another system with better intelligence than WUA or, if this is a common occurrence, just pay the couple hundred bucks for a VL license and build a standard image for deployment. Additionally of benefit is that they should no longer require a reboot before applying so that it's not a double-reboot cycle for monthly maintenance. SSUs are not entirely cumulative, therefore they are generally all required for a system. After one of those installs successfully, I try the most recent again, and so on, until I have them all installed. ![]() Then I have to work backwards, trying older SSU's and cumulative updates until one works. However, I find that running the latest SSU and cumulative update on a clean install usually fails with a message that the update is not compatible with this version of Windows 10. I understand the stated purpose of the Servicing Stack Updates, and I would be delighted if I could simply run one SSU and one cumulative update to a clean install, and be done with it. You can read more here Opens a new window. For example, the cumulative update KB4284880 requires the servicing stack update, which includes updates to Windows Update. The servicing stack is released separately because the servicing stack itself requires an update. From Microsoft: Servicing stack updates must ship separately from the cumulative updates because they modify the component that installs Windows updates. SSU's are needed to apply CU's due to "infrastructure" updates that are necessary in order for the CU to be applied successfully. People who have installed the extensions should manually inspect their browsers and ensure they no longer run.As for Cerbere's point about the cumulative vs SSU's. Removing the extensions from its servers isn’t the same as uninstalling the extensions from the 1.4 million infected devices. The extensions McAfee identified are: Nameįull Page Screenshot Capture – ScreenshottingĪs of Wednesday, all five extensions have been removed from the Chrome Web Store, a Google spokesperson said. To help keep the activity covert, some of the extensions were programmed to wait 15 days after installation before beginning the data collection and code injection. The code modified the cookies for the site so that the extension authors receive affiliate payment for any items purchased. If the site visited matched a list of ecommerce sites, the developer domain instructed the extensions to insert JavaScript into the visited page. ![]() The extensions sent the name of each site visited to the developer-designated site d., along with a unique identifier and the country, city, and zip code of the visiting device. ![]() Behind the scenes, company researchers said, the extensions kept a running list of each site a user visited and took additional actions when users landed on specific sites. The five extensions flagged by McAfee purport to offer various services, including the ability to stream Netflix videos to groups of people, take screenshots, and automatically find and apply coupon codes. Google has removed browser extensions with more than 1.4 million downloads from the Chrome Web Store after third-party researchers reported they were surreptitiously tracking users’ browsing history and inserting tracking code into specific ecommerce sites they visited.
