Microsoft has a warning for billions of Windows users

Microsoft has issued a security advisory for billions of Windows users across the world in which it has warned users of hackers taking complete control over their computers. In an official security update, the company informed users that there are two remote code execution vulnerabilities that exist in Microsoft Windows. “Two remote code execution vulnerabilities exist in Microsoft Windows when the Windows Adobe Type Manager Library improperly handles a specially-crafted multi-master font – Adobe Type 1 PostScript format,” explained Microsoft.
The US-based tech giant said that it is working on a fix and gave a rough timeline as well. “Microsoft is aware of this vulnerability and working on a fix. Updates that address security vulnerabilities in Microsoft software are typically released on Update Tuesday, the second Tuesday of each month. This predictable schedule allows for partner quality assurance and IT planning, which helps maintain the Windows ecosystem as a reliable, secure choice for our customers.”
