The August update is a very important one. There are 121 vulnerabilities patched. There are patches for the usual suspects: .net, Azure, Edge, Office and Visual Studio in addition to Windows itself.

This update is three times the size of last August's update and addresses an issue raised in January 2020 (DogWalk) but dismissed by Microsoft. The vulnerability impacts only "supported" versions of Windows using acknowledged flaws the Windows Support Diagnostic Tool.

Last month's Follina attack also used the WSDT and had also been dismissed by Microsoft.

These zero-day vulnerabilities give the remote user SYSTEM level privileges (higher than Administrator).

There's an out-of-band update out late yesterday that fixes a TLS issue with some servers. This issue may be present in both Windows 10 and Windows 11.

I suspect there's a pretty good chance that the problem was built into the Cumulative Updates.

Windows 10 v 22H2 is also out! Mostly a version number change.
