Microsoft has released patches for 128 security vulnerabilities for its April 2022 monthly scheduled update – ten of them rated critical (including three wormable code-execution bugs that require no user interaction to exploit).
There are also two important-rated zero-days that allow privilege escalation, including one listed as under active exploit.

The bugs in the update are found across the portfolio, including in Microsoft Windows and Windows Components, Microsoft Defender and Defender for Endpoint, Microsoft Dynamics, Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based), Exchange Server, Office and Office Components, SharePoint Server, Windows Hyper-V, DNS Server, Skype for Business, .NET and Visual Studio, Windows App Store and Windows Print Spooler Components.

“This large volume of patches hasn’t been seen since the fall of 2020. However, this level is similar to what we saw in the first quarter of last year,” Dustin Childs, researcher at Trend Micro’s Zero Day Initiative, said in a blog breaking down the fixes.

https://www.blackhatethicalhacking.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Solutions-1.png Zero-Day PatchesThe vulnerability that’s been exploited in the wild ahead of patching allows privilege escalation, and is tracked as CVE-2022-24521. It rates 7.8 out of 10 on the CVSS vulnerability-severity scale. It’s listed as a “Windows Common Log File System Driver Execution Vulnerability,” and was reported to Microsoft by the National Security Agency.

“It’s not stated how widely the exploit is being used in the wild, but it’s likely still targeted at this point and not broadly available,” Childs noted. “Go patch your systems before that situation changes.”

Researchers noted that attackers are likely pairing it with a separate code-execution bug in their campaigns. For that reason, Immersive Labs’ Kevin Breen, director of cyber-threat research, places the actively exploited bug at the top of the priority list for patching.

“Being the type of vulnerability for escalating privileges, this would indicate a threat actor is currently using it to aid lateral movement to capitalize on a pre-existing foothold,” he explained.

The second zero-day is found in the Windows User Profile Service, and is tracked as CVE-2022-26904.

It also allows privilege escalation, and rates a CVSS score of 7. Even though it’s listed as exploitation more likely, it has a high attack complexity, Microsoft noted in its advisory, because “successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to win a race condition.”

Even so, researchers at Tripwire noted that exploit code is available for the bug, including in the Metasploit framework.

It exists in the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Runtime Library, and rates 9.8 out of 10 on the CVSS scale, with exploitation noted as more likely. If exploited, a remote attacker could execute code with high privileges.

Danny Kim, principal architect at Virsec, noted that the vulnerability is specifically found in Microsoft’s Server Message Block (SMB) fu[...]
