Microsoft vularable driver blocklist

Hi, I'm Robinson, and I’m happy to help you today.

The vulnerable driver blocklist is designed to help harden systems against third party-developed drivers across the Windows ecosystem with any of the following attributes:

-Known security vulnerabilities that can be exploited by attackers to elevate privileges in the Windows kernel

-Malicious behaviors (malware) or certificates used to sign malware

-Behaviors that aren't malicious but circumvent the Windows Security Model and can be exploited by attackers to elevate privileges in the Windows kernel

The option to disable this feature is greyed out by default, your device is safe and you don't need to make any changes.

You can see more information about the vulnerable driver blocklist at this link.

WPA2 Vulnerability Found

A small update with regards to the Microsoft fix. The fix itself is sufficient to solve the issue on Windows, even if your WiFi device has no driver update, with one caveat:

Does this security update fully address these vulnerabilities on Microsoft Platforms, or do I need to perform any additional steps to be fully protected?
The provided security updates address the reported vulnerabilities; however, when affected Windows based systems enter a connected standby mode in low power situations, the vulnerable functionality may be offloaded to installed Wi-Fi hardware. To fully address potential vulnerabilities, you are also encouraged to contact your Wi-Fi hardware vendor to obtain updated device drivers. For a listing of affected vendors with links to their documentation, review the ICASI Multi-Vendor Vulnerability Disclosure statement here: ICASI integrates into FIRST PSIRT SIG bolstering the incident response and security team industry
