The November 2020 Security Update Review
November is here and with it comes the latest security offerings from Adobe and Microsoft. Take a break from your regularly scheduled activities and join us as we review the details of security patches for this month.
Adobe Patches for November 2020
Adobe kicked off their November patch cycle a bit early by releasing an update for Acrobat and Reader last Tuesday. The patch fixes 14 CVEs, four of which were reported through the ZDI program. Four of these CVEs are rated as Critical and could lead to code execution if a user opened a specially crafted PDF.
Today, Adobe released patches for Reader for Android and Connect fixing three total CVEs. The update for Reader for Android fixes an info disclosure bug. The two CVEs addressed by the Connect patch cover reflective cross-site scripting (XSS) bugs. None of the CVEs fixed by Adobe this or last week were listed as publicly known or under active attack at the time of release.
Microsoft Patches for November 2020
For November, Microsoft released patches to correct 112 CVEs in Microsoft Windows, Office and Office Services and Web Apps, Internet Explorer (IE), Edge (EdgeHTML-based and Chromium-based), ChakraCore, Exchange Server, Microsoft Dynamics, Azure Sphere, Windows Defender, Microsoft Teams, and Visual Studio. After a brief dip in October, we’re back into the 110+ CVEs per month volume of patches again. That makes eight months this year with this level of patches, so we really need to think of this as the new normal.
Of these 112 patches, 17 are rated as Critical, 93 are rated as Important, and two are rated Low in severity. A total of six of these bugs came through the ZDI program. Only one bug is listed as publicly known and under active attack. You’ll notice some big changes in the documentation for this month’s release (see below for details). Microsoft has decided to withhold the amount of information it publishes about the bugs being patched. Consequently, you’ll see less detail in this blog as well. We’ll still do what we can to parse the release with what data Microsoft does publish and our deep knowledge of bug reports. We do see quite a few of them. Let’s begin take a closer look at some of the more severe bugs in this release, starting with the bug currently being exploited:
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â CVE-2020-17087Â - Windows Kernel Local Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
This privilege escalation bug was publicly disclosed by Google in late October. They noted it was combined with a Chrome bug to escape the browser sandbox and execute code on the target system. While not explicitly stated, the language used makes it seem the exploit is not yet widespread. However, considering there is a full analysis of the bug weeks before the patch, it will likely be incorporated into other exploits quickly.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â CVE-2020-17084Â - Microsoft Exchange Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
This patch corrects a code execution bug in Exchange that was reported by Pwn2Own Miami winner Steven Seeley. With no details provided by Microsoft, we can only assume this is the bypass of CVE-2020-16875 he had previously mentioned. It is very likely he will his publish the details of these bugs soon. Microsoft rates this as Important, but I would treat it as Critical, especially since people seem to find it hard to patch Exchange at all.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â CVE-2020-17051Â - Windows Network File System Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
With no description to work from, we need to rely on the CVSS to provide clues about the real risk from this bug. At a 9.8, it’s about as critical as a bug can get. Considering this is listed as no user interaction with low attack complexity, and considering NFS is a network service, you should treat this as wormable until we learn otherwise.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â CVE-2020-17040Â - Windows Hyper-V Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability
Here’s another bug that could be helped by a description. It’s not clear which security feature in Hyper-V is being bypassed or how an attacker can abuse it. Again, the attack complexity is low, authentication is not required, and there is no user interaction. Additional details are needed to accurately judge the risk from this bug, but the title and CVSS values alone put this bug on everyone’s radar.
Here’s the full list of CVEs released by Microsoft for November 2020.Â
