If windows 11 and other programs you guys and other companys fail to make programs like windows 11, devices, and other things that clearly you push on us consumers because you guys a billion dollar company cant even perfect their own like others cant make proper devices and prohgrams you guys have to constantly update, and for security 85% of you over due the security. if you use a actual AI thats made for security blocks with the help of fire walls and programing like your stupid xbox enforcement which even ip baning is stupid because all they need to do is switch router ips and they can acce

Flaw leaves Microsoft looking like a turkey

MICROSOFT engineers worked frantically over the US Thanksgiving holiday to fix a design flaw in Windows that has exposed millions of computers to hijacking by computer criminals.

By exploiting the design flaw a lone miscreant could take control of vast numbers of home or office PCs around the world in a single attack. They could read data, steal passwords and monitor internet use or use them to distribute spam or viruses.

The bug was demonstrated at the Kiwicon hacker conference in New Zealand last week by an ethical hacker, Beau Butler.

"This whole presentation came about from me telling a story to a bunch of my computer security friends down the pub one night," he said on the phone from New Zealand. "They basically said, 'You're going to have to step up and talk about that'."

While testing the flaw, Mr Butler found more than 160,000 computers in NZ were vulnerable. Computers in the US are not vulnerable to the flaw, but many countries are potentially wide open.

It was decided not to publish details of the vulnerability after bringing it to the attention of Microsoft this week.

The software giant confirmed the issue was serious and asked this newspaper not to publish the details over fears they could be used by cyber criminals to seize control of workstations.

Microsoft's engineers in Australia and the US scrambled to replicate and confirm the issue, with the security team working over this week's Thanksgiving holiday to begin work on a fix.

"Now that we understand the issue we're researching comprehensive mitigations and workarounds to protect customers," Microsoft's general manager of product security, George Stathakopoulos, said by email.

The flaw is an old one, first exposed and apparently fixed more than five years ago. But it appears Microsoft's fix was only partially effective.

The problem affects all versions of Windows, including the company's most recent release, Vista software. However, it does not affect every Windows computer, Mr Stathakopoulos said. It depends on how it is configured.

Mr Butler said he tried to alert Microsoft to the problem by email before going public with his research. "I didn't get any reply — I assumed they were aware of the issue," he said.

He was surprised to discover the bug was still a problem in Microsoft's most recent operating system products. "It was a massive shock," he said.

Spectre and Meltdown Flaws/bugs

Do NOT download anything manually! Might be that your Anti-Virus program is not yet patched or whatever...

I suggest to take the time and do some reading....

See for example the below articles which include lots of links/infos:

(article includes: "This
Google Docs file contains a list of the responses from some AV companies.")

Google Project Zero exposes security flaw in Microsoft Edge

...The flaw affects Microsoft’s Arbitrary Code Guarantee (ACG) that aims to mitigate arbitrary native code execution. ACG forced Microsoft to move its JIT (Just-in-Time) functionality into a separate process, effectively running it in an isolated sandbox. Google explained how the flaw works, by predicting the address that the JIT process calls itsVirtualAllocEx() function:

Unmap the shared memory mapped above above using UnmapViewOfFile()

Allocate a writable memory region on the same address JIT server is going to write and write a soon-to-be-executable payload there.

When JIT process calls VirtualAllocEx(), even though the memory is already allocated, the call is going to succeed and the memory protection is going to be set to PAGE_EXECUTE_READ.

It is important to note that the bug has been classified as a "Medium" severity flaw and was disclosed to Microsoft by Google in November 2017. The standard 90-day-deadline was awarded to the company to fix the issue before it was disclosed to the public.

According to the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC), the problem turned out to be more complex than initially believed, due to which it was given an additional 14-day grace period by Google. Although the company missed this deadline in its February Patch Tuesday too - which forced Google to make the flaw public - Microsoft is confident that it will resolve the issue by March 13, aligning the shipment of the fix with the Patch Tuesday in March.
