San Francisco, March 10 : Microsoft has released 89 security fixes for software including the Edge browser, Office and Azure that patch critical issues including vectors for the remote execution of arbitrary code.
During the tech giant’s standard monthly patch round, Microsoft released a slew of patches to fix vulnerabilities in software including Azure, Microsoft Office products — such as PowerPoint, Excel, SharePoint, and Visio — alongside the Edge browser and Internet Explorer.
This also includes seven out-of-band fixes for Microsoft Exchange Server which were released last week, four of which are classed as zero-days, reports ZDnet.
Security updates have also been issued for features and services including the Microsoft Windows Codecs Library, Windows Admin Center, DirectX, Event Tracing, Registry, Win32K, and Windows Remote Access API.
In total, 14 are described as critical and the majority lead to Remote Code Execution (RCE), whereas the rest are deemed important, the report said.
Among the fixes is the resolution of CVE-2021-26411, a memory corruption vulnerability in Internet Explorer that is being actively exploited in the wild, it added.
