You’ll recall that I brought you the story of a serious bug in Windows called PrintNightmare which was being exploited. Microsoft has issued out-of-band patches for this bug. Sort of. Patches are available for the following operating systems:
- Windows Server 2019
- Windows Server 2012 R2
- Windows Server 2008
- Windows 8.1
- Windows RT 8.1
- A variety of supported versions of Windows 10
- Windows 7
Microsoft recommends prompt application of its patches, but its advisory also offers a workaround if you’re not able to install the software.
Here’s the bad news. Microsoft’s advisory states: “Updates are not yet available for Windows 10 version 1607, Windows Server 2016, or Windows Server 2012.” But, they are on the way says Microsoft. So I would highly recommend that you get to patching all the things to protect yourself.
UPDATE: Microsoft has now released patches for all versions of Windows 10.
