Microsoft Issues Multiple Critical Patches for Edge Browser

Microsoft patched a bevy of critical bugs impacting its Edge browser that could allow an attacker to hijack a targeted PC simply by steering a victim to a rigged website. In all, Microsoft tackled four critical Edge vulnerabilities, part of the company s first 2019 round of Patch Tuesday bug fixes. Of particular interest is a Jet Database Engine remote code execution vulnerability that was publicly known ahead of the patch, but not exploited in the wild. Another notable patch was for a Skype for Android elevation of privilege vulnerability (CVE-2019-0622)
