Microsoft Corregge 137 Vulnerabilità nel Patch Tuesday di Luglio. Nessuna sotto attacco attivo
Questo mese, gli sviluppatori Microsoft hanno corretto 137 vulnerabilità nell’ambito del Patch Tuesday. Nessuno di questi bug è stato utilizzato in attacchi, ma i dettagli di una vulnerabilità zero-day in Microsoft SQL Server sono stati resi pubblici prima del rilascio della patch.
In totale, a luglio sono state risolte 14 vulnerabilità critiche, dieci delle quali riguardavano problemi di esecuzione di codice in modalità remota, una era un problema di divulgazione di informazioni e due erano correlate ad attacchi side-channel su AMD. L’unica vulnerabilità pubblicata prima del rilascio della fix è stata scoperta in Microsoft SQL Server.
Ricordiamo che Microsoft classifica come 0-day:
- Vulnerabilità che vengono già sfruttate (“exploited in the wild”) prima che l’azienda rilasci una patch.
- Oppure vulnerabilità rese pubbliche (ad esempio da ricercatori o gruppi hacker) senza che ci sia ancora una correzione ufficiale.
E tale definizione va in contrasto con il concetto classico di vulnerabilità 0day che significa una falla di sicurezza per la quale non esiste ancora una patch ufficiale al momento in cui viene scoperta o sfruttata attivamente.
Il CVE-2025-49719 è un problema di divulgazione di informazioni in Microsoft SQL Server. Il problema potrebbe consentire a un aggressore remoto e non autenticato di accedere ai dati da una memoria non inizializzata. “Una convalida impropria degli input in SQL Server potrebbe consentire a un aggressore non autorizzato di divulgare informazioni”, ha spiegato Microsoft. Gli amministratori possono mitigare la vulnerabilità installando la versione più recente di Microsoft SQL Server e Microsoft OLE DB Driver 18 o 19.
Si noti inoltre che questo mese Microsoft ha corretto una serie di bug RCE critici in Microsoft Office (tra cui CVE-2025-49695 , CVE-2025-49696 , CVE-2025-49697 e CVE-2025-49702 ) che possono essere sfruttati semplicemente aprendo un documento creato appositamente o tramite il riquadro di anteprima. Gli sviluppatori sottolineano che le patch per questi problemi non sono ancora disponibili in Microsoft Office LTSC per Mac 2021 e 2024 e dovrebbero essere rilasciate a breve.
Inoltre, Microsoft ha corretto una vulnerabilità RCE critica in Microsoft SharePoint (CVE-2025-49704) che potrebbe essere sfruttata su Internet semplicemente avendo un account sulla piattaforma. Il punteggio CVSS più alto di questo mese (9,8 punti) è stato ottenuto da un altro bug critico: CVE-2025-47981. Questo errore viola i protocolli di sicurezza Microsoft Simple and Protected GSS-API Negotiation Mechanism (SPNEGO) utilizzando un overflow del buffer heap, che consente l’esecuzione di codice remoto.
Un bug nei componenti del file system NTFS ha permesso a un aggressore di aggirare i meccanismi di difesa di Windows. Una potenziale vittima avrebbe dovuto solo aprire un disco virtuale appositamente predisposto affinché l’aggressore potesse sfruttare la vulnerabilità e ottenere il pieno controllo del sistema. “Per sfruttare la vulnerabilità CVE-2025-49686, un aggressore non avrebbe bisogno di aumentare i privilegi di sistema o di ottenere diritti di accesso speciali. Basterebbe indurre l’utente a eseguire un programma dannoso che sfrutta una vulnerabilità nel driver che garantisce la comunicazione tra i dispositivi in rete. Poiché l’errore ha causato l’accesso tramite un puntatore errato, potrebbe causare una chiusura anomala del programma e, di conseguenza, un errore di sistema. Di conseguenza, l’accesso alle risorse aziendali sarebbe limitato, il che potrebbe potenzialmente compromettere le operazioni dell’organizzazione”.

A friend asked me recently what makes the #Fediverse such a good place to live digital life.
I had to think about it for a while, but I think it has to do with the fact that we all - in our own way - want to escape the toxic lock-ins of #BigTech, and that this is only possible if others come along.
So I feel that every interaction on the Fediverse - a boost, a favorite, a reply - is by default already a little exchange of mutual thank you's: thank you for contributing to the escape.

The image depicts a serene marina scene at dusk. In the foreground, several sailboats are docked, their masts rising vertically against the sky. The boats are moored along a pier, with calm water reflecting the muted colors of the setting sun. The sky is a mix of dark gray clouds and patches of orange and yellow, suggesting the sun is setting behind distant mountains. The mountains are partially obscured by mist, adding depth to the scene. The overall color palette is a blend of dark blues, grays, and warm oranges, creating a tranquil atmosphere. The image captures the stillness of the marina, with no visible movement or activity.

Aus der Buchvorstellung:
"Dieses Buch erzählt keine Biografien im üblichen Sinne. Es spürt Spuren nach: leisen Gesten in Gemälden, verborgenen Tönen in Kompositionen, Momenten des Aufbruchs und der Würde.
Anja Weinberger lädt Sie ein auf eine Reise zu Frauen, die auf ihre Weise die Welt geprägt haben – mit Pinsel, Stimme oder schlicht durch ihre Präsenz im Schatten der Geschichte."

Over a decade ago, I had a male colleague who reduced Lovelace's contributions to computing as "oh she just translated stuff."
the-good-times.org/people-2/ad…
Given the respect Babbage had for Lovelace she did more than that.
Ada Lovelace: Weaving Algebraic Patterns Like Looms Weave Flowers and Leaves - The Good Times
Ada Lovelace, a pioneer of modern computer science, was the first to understand how a mechanical calculator could be used for computing.dcarsprungli (The Good Times)
Ada brought context and support to Babbage.
She could see what it could be useful for.
She had the mathematical background to understand what Babbage was trying to do.
Centuries later you still get folks trying to minimise her contributions.
🤷♀️
The thrilling adventures of Lovelace and Babbage by Sydney Padua is an awesome comic book, with a plethora of real life information about Lovelace and Babbage and their time in the footnotes.
It's one of my favourite books for the Steampunk alternate universe fun and the real life facts.

Das Bild zeigt eine zufriedene Katze mit einem braunen und schwarzen Streifenmuster, die auf einem braunen Sessel liegt. Die Katze hat die Augen geschlossen und genießt die sanfte Berührung einer Hand, die ihr sanft über den Kopf streichelt. Die Katze hat ein weißes Kinn und einen rosa Schnurrbart. Im Hintergrund ist ein Teil eines Raumes zu sehen, der wie ein Wohnraum aussieht, mit einem Teil einer Tür und einem gelben Gegenstand auf dem Boden. Die Katze wirkt entspannt und glücklich, was durch ihre geschlossenen Augen und die sanfte Berührung deutlich wird.

"The rapid onset of disruptive climate change — driven by the burning of oil, gasoline and coal — is making disasters like this one more common, more deadly and far more costly to Americans, even as the federal government is running away from the policies and research that might begin to address it."
