This month we got patches for 87 vulnerabilities. Of these, 12 are critical, 6 were previously disclosed and none of them are being exploited according to Microsoft.

Amongst critical vulnerabilities, there is a CVSSv3 9.8 remote code execution in Windows TCP/IP stack (CVE-2020-16898) due to the way it improperly handles ICMPv6 Router Advertisement packets. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would have to send specially crafted ICMPv6 Router Advertisement packets to a remote Windows host (client or server). Several Windows 10 versions, Windows Server (core installation), and Windows Server 2019 are affected by this vulnerability. There is a workaround for Windows 1709 and above that consists in disabling ICMPV6 RDNSS. For more details, check the vulnerability advisory at https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2020-16898

There is also a remote code execution in Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI+) (CVE-2020-16911). An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by convincing users to view a specially crafted website or sending them an e-mail attachment with a malicious attachment. The CVSS v3 score for this vulnerability is 8.8.

A third vulnerability worth mentioning is an elevation of privilege affecting Windows Hyper-V (CVE-2020-1080). If successfully exploited, this vulnerability could give an attacker elevated privileges on the target system. The CVSSv3 for this vulnerability is 8.8 as well.
