⚡ TL;DR | Go Straight to the December 2024 Patch Tuesday Audit Report
Patch Tuesday is once again upon us. As always, our team has put together the monthly Patch Tuesday Report to help you manage your update progress. The audit report gives you a quick and clear overview of your Windows machines and their patching status. The December 2024 edition of Patch Tuesday brings us 71 new fixes, with 16 rated as critical and 1 exploited. We’ve listed the most important changes below.
Windows Common Log File System Driver Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
CVE-2024-49138, is the only exploited vulnerability this month. With a CVSS base score of 7.8, its not the highest scoring vulnerability of this month, but with an already active exploitation it gets some extra attention.
The only information shared by Microsoft is that if an attacker successfully exploits this vulnerability, they can gain SYSTEM privileges. As per usual, Microsoft doesn’t provide too much information to prevent further exploitation.
Windows Remote Desktop Services Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
9 out of the 16 critical vulnerabilities are in the Windows Remote Desktop Services. All of the vulnerabilities have a CVSS base score of 8.1, and even though Microsoft lists exploitation as “Less Likely” due to its higher complexity to exploit, this many critical vulnerabilities means that there is significant risk there to be highlighted.
- CVE-2024-49132
- CVE-2024-49128
- CVE-2024-49123
- CVE-2024-49120
- CVE-2024-49119
- CVE-2024-49116
- CVE-2024-49115
- CVE-2024-49108
- CVE-2024-49106
MSMQ Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
The last highlight of this month is CVE-2024-49122. This vulnerability has not yet been actively exploited, but Microsoft does list it as “more likely” to be exploited. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker needs to send specially crafted malicious MSMQ packet to a MSMQ server.
Because of the condition to exploit, only devices with the Message Queuing and Message Queuing Services feature are vulnerable. You can easily find out which devices meet that condition using the Windows Server MSMQ Server Feature Audit.
