A micropatch is available through the 0patch platform for the zero-day vulnerability in Microsoft's JET Database Engine unveiled by Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative in an advisory published on September 20.

ACROS Security, the company behind the free 0patch micropatch distribution platform, released their microscopic 21 bytes patch for the vulnerable msrd3x40.dll binary the day after ZDI published their Proof Of Concept exploit.

As detailed in a post on 0patch's blog by Mitja Kolsek, ACROS Security CEO, a candidate micropatch was ready less than 7 hours after the initial PoC was published by ZDI.
