Krebs reports <strong class=\"font-semibold text-neutral-900\">16<\/strong> of those flaws carried Microsoft&#8217;s highest &#8220;critical&#8221; severity, and this is the first Patch Tuesday in nearly two years without fixes for active zero-day exploitation. Krebs cites security firm <strong class=\"font-semibold text-neutral-900\">Rapid7<\/strong> in highlighting several high-risk bugs, including a stack-based buffer overflow in Windows Netlogon that can yield SYSTEM privileges on domain controllers and a remote code execution issue in the Windows DNS client.
