Security Updates for Exchange 2016

Ex2013 LogoA quick heads-up as Microsoft released security update for supported releases of Exchange Server 2016.

The security updates patch issues as reported in the following Microsoft Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures:

  • CVE-2018-8604: Microsoft Exchange Server Tampering Vulnerability
    A tampering vulnerability exists when Microsoft Exchange Server fails to properly handle profile data. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could modify a targeted user’s profile data.

You can download the security updates here:

Notes:

  • KB4468741 for Exchange Server 2016 CU10 supersedes KB4459266.

As with any patch or update, I’d recommend to thoroughly test this in a test and acceptance environment first, prior to implementing it in production.
