Microsoft Fixes Actively Exploited Zero-Day Flaw

Reading Time: 2 mins read
in Alerts

 

Microsoft issued a patch for a zero-day flaw actively exploited in the wild in its latest Patch Tuesday dump of security fixes. The update to the world’s most ubiquitous operating system includes 63 other patches, including another zero-day.
