Late last week, a researcher disclosed a zero day flaw that affect all versions of Window 10, and the latest Windows Servers as well. The good news is the flaw is difficult to exploit. The bad news is the researcher did not give Microsoft time to patch it before disclosing the issue, and proof-of-concept (POC) exploit code. If you’re ok with third party patches, consider 0patch.com. This third party app has a micropatch for this issue, but it hasn’t gone through Microsoft testing. Otherwise, watch the video below for a few more details, and keep an eye out for Microsoft’s patches.
