https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ne...21-patch-tuesday-fixes-108-flaws-5-zero-days/

Today is Microsoft's April 2021 Patch Tuesday, and with it comes five zero-day vulnerabilities and more Critical Microsoft Exchange vulnerabilities. It has been a tough couple of months for Windows and Microsoft Exchange admins, and it looks like April won't be any easier, so please be nice to your IT staff today.

With today's update, Microsoft has fixed 108 vulnerabilities, with 19 classified as Critical and 89 as Important. These numbers do not include the 6 Chromium Edge vulnerabilities released earlier this month.

There are also five zero-day vulnerabilities patched today that were publicly disclosed, with one known to be used in attacks.

To make matters worse, Microsoft fixed four critical Microsoft Exchange vulnerabilities that the NSA discovered.

Zero-day vulnerability in Desktop Window Manager (CVE-2021-28310) used in the wild

We believe this exploit is used in the wild, potentially by several threat actors. It is an escalation of privilege (EoP) exploit that is likely used together with other browser exploits to escape sandboxes or get system privileges for further access. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to capture a full chain, so we don’t know if the exploit is used with another browser zero-day, or coupled with known, patched vulnerabilities.
