July 01, 2017 - "... Petya ransomware encrypts the master boot records of infected Windows computers, making affected machines unusable... US-CERT received a sample of this Petya ransomware variant and performed a detailed malware analysis. The team found that this Petya variant encrypts the victim’s files with a dynamically generated, 128-bit key and creates a unique ID of the victim. However, there is no evidence of a relationship between the encryption key and the victim’s ID, which means it may not be possible for the attacker to decrypt the victim’s files even if the ransom is paid..."

Qualys analysis: https://blog.qualys.com/laws-of-vul...es-from-microsoft-plus-critical-adobe-patches
July 11, 2017 - "Today Microsoft released patches covering 54 vulnerabilities as part of July’s Patch Tuesday, with 26 of them affecting Windows. Patches covering 19 of these vulnerabilities are labeled as Critical, all of which can result in Remote Code execution. According to Microsoft, none of these vulnerabilities are currently being exploited in the wild.
Top priority for patching should go to CVE-2017-8589*, which is a vulnerability in the Windows Search service. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely via SMB to take complete control of a system, and can impact both servers and workstations. The issue affects Windows Server 2016, 2012, 2008 R2, 2008 as well as desktop systems like Windows 10, 7 and 8.1. While this vulnerability can leverage SMB as an attack vector, this is not a vulnerability in SMB itself, and is not related to the recent SMB vulnerabilities leveraged by EternalBlue, WannaCry, and Petya... Today’s release is normal in size, and covers 54 vulnerabilities in Windows, Internet Explorer, Edge, Office, .net Framework, Adobe Flash, and Exchange..."

Patch Watch: August’s Follow-Up Fixes
> http://windowssecrets.com/windows-secrets/patch-watch-augusts-follow-up-fixes/
Aug 22, 2017 - "I have a phrase I often use with technology: Keep the children on the playground the same age. This means -not- mixing older-and-younger groups; they have different skill levels and abilities. The same goes for .NET 4.7, applications and Windows 7. If you dig into various locations on the web you will see post install side effects such as the following:
Impacting Autocad and earlier versions as noted in a forum[1]
1] https://www.cadnauseam.com/2017/07/15/automated-net-4-7-update-kills-autocad-pre-2017/
.NET 4.7 crashing Quickbooks as noted on a blog[2]
2] http://www.intuitiveaccountant.com/...t-framework-crashing-quickbooks/#.WZO9HLpFw2w
Possible issues with Arcgis Pro[3]
3] https://geonet.esri.com/thread/196265-net-47-upgrade-breaks-arcgis-pro
May have issues with touchscreen inputs as notes in this post[4]
4] https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/c..._has_some_issues_and/?st=j6pg42dp&sh=376b604f
Techsmith Snagit impact with .NET 4.7 as noted in this forum[5]
5] https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/c..._has_some_issues_and/?st=j6pg42dp&sh=376b604f
I’ll be investigating and see if the 4.7 update is the trigger for these issues but in the meantime if you are impacted and want to block .NET 4.7 you can use a registry key as noted on the Ghacks site.[6]
6] https://www.ghacks.net/2017/06/12/blocking-net-framework-4-7-installation/
... What to do: Consider -blocking- .NET 4.7 on older operating systems.
Windows 10 1607 Side Effects: The release of 4034658 to Windows 10, version 1607 release had a few noticeable side effects: Naming it wiped-out-your-update-history. As an alternative, to see which quality updates have been applied, you can navigate to the inventory by going to Control Panel -> Programs -> “View Installed Updates.” In addition, the update had additional-side-effects of making any hidden updates pop back up again. So if you hid the 1703 update it -will- offer back up again. Finally in a network setting, WSUS servers will exhibit increased CPU, memory, and network utilization when Windows Update clients perform their first scan after installing KB4034658. Remember this only happens with the KB4034658* for Windows 10 1607 update."

Qualys analysis: https://blog.qualys.com/laws-of-vul...es-from-microsoft-plus-critical-adobe-patches
Sep 12, 2017 - "Today Microsoft released a fairly large batch of patches covering 81 vulnerabilities as part of September’s Patch Tuesday update, with 38 of them impacting Windows. Patches covering -27- of these vulnerabilities are labeled as -Critical- and -39- can result in Remote Code Execution (RCE). According to Microsoft, one vulnerability impacting HoloLens has a public exploit.
Top priority for patching should go to CVE-2017-0161, an RCE vulnerability in NetBIOS that impacts both servers and workstations. For users of Microsoft’s DHCP server, priority should also be given to CVE-2017-8686, especially if using failover mode, due to another potential RCE.
Out of the 26 vulnerabilities that are both Critical and RCE, -22- of them impact Microsoft’s browsers. Many of these vulnerabilities involve the Scripting Engine, which can impact both browsers and Microsoft Office, and should be considered for prioritizing for workstation-type systems that use email and access the internet via a browser. Adobe has also released patches covering 5 critical vulnerabilities, 2 of which are for Flash. The other patches are for Adobe ColdFusion and RoboHelp."

Qualys analysis: https://blog.qualys.com/laws-of-vul...tuesday-28-critical-microsoft-vulnerabilities
Oct 10, 2017 - "Today Microsoft released patches covering 62 vulnerabilities as part of August’s Patch Tuesday update, with 30 of them affecting Windows. Patches covering 28 of these vulnerabilities are labeled as Critical, and 33 can result in Remote Code Execution. According to Microsoft, a vulnerability in Microsoft Office is being actively exploited in the wild. Top priority for patching should go to a vulnerability in Microsoft Office, CVE-2017-11826, which Microsoft has ranked as “Important” is actively being exploited in the wild.
Priority should also be given to CVE-2017-11771, which is a vulnerability in the Windows Search service. This is the fourth Patch Tuesday this year to feature a vulnerability in this service. As with the others, this vulnerability can be exploited remotely via SMB to take complete control of a system, and can impact both servers and workstations. While an exploit against this vulnerability can leverage SMB as an attack vector, this is not a vulnerability in SMB itself, and is not related to the recent SMB vulnerabilities leveraged by EternalBlue, WannaCry, and Petya.
Also of note are two vulnerabilities in the Windows font library, CVE-2017-11762 and CVE-2017-11763, that can be exploited through a browser or malicious file, as well as a vulnerability in DNSAPI, CVE-2017-11779, that could allow a malicious DNS server to execute code on a client system.
A vulnerability in certain TPM chips is addressed by ADV170012. This vulnerability is in the TPM chip itself, and not in Windows, but could result in weak cryptographic keys. These keys are used for BitLocker, Biometric auth, and other areas of Windows. The updates provide a workaround for the weak keys leveraging additional logging and an option to use software-derived keys. Full remediation requires a firmware update from the device manufacturer.
As with several of the last Patch Tuesdays, the majority of the vulnerabilities in this month’s release involve the Scripting Engine, which can impact both browsers and Microsoft Office, and should be considered for prioritizing for workstation-type systems that use email and access the internet via a browser..."
