The PrintNightmare bug is being tracked as CVE-2021-1675 and CVE-2021-34527. It's a critical bug in the Windows print spooler with exploit code in the public domain before Microsoft had a chance to release a patch for it. Admins were advised to disable the Print Spooler service until a patch was made available. I feel more like I do now than I did a while ago... | |

Also see the new post about yesterday's patch Tuesday updates. I feel more like I do now than I did a while ago... | |
