Microsoft has slapped a massive band-aid on its PowerPoint presentation software to cover at least 14 documented security vulnerabilities. The MS09-017 update, rated critical, includes a fix for a known code execution flaw that was used to launch targeted exploits via rigged PowerPoint files. Nvidia patched flaws tied to 16 CVEs across its graphics drivers and vGPU software, in its first security update of 2021. Despite being a mostly run-of-the-mill ransomware strain, Babuk Locker s encryption mechanisms and abuse of Windows Restart Manager sets it apart.
