Microsoft fixed quite a number of bugs in this month's Patch Tuesday update,
which came out last week. While it packed numerous fixes for various versions of Windows, it did draw some criticism for the
handling of a security vulnerability that was reported to it by Google.
However, it appears that the Redmond giant's security woes are not yet over as a new report claims that the firm just fixed a Windows zero-day exploit that was reported to it back in 2018.
Last week, Microsoft fixed a security hole in various versions of Windows that mainly deals with the operating system's incorrect handling of file signatures.
In CVE-2020-1464, the company noted that:
A spoofing vulnerability exists when Windows incorrectly validates file signatures. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could bypass security features and load improperly signed files. In an attack scenario, an attacker could bypass security features intended to prevent improperly signed files from being loaded.
The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how Windows validates file signatures.
