Microsoft’s Race to Patch: 63 Vulnerabilities and a Kernel Conundrum
Microsoft has released patches for 63 security vulnerabilities, including four critical ones. The highlight? A zero-day Windows Kernel flaw, CVE-2025-62215, that’s actively being exploited. So if your Windows starts behaving like it’s possessed, it might just be a hacker attempting to win a race condition. Better update those systems pronto!
Hot Take:
Patch Tuesday strikes again! Microsoft is here to save the day with 63 reasons you should put off that Windows update until the last possible moment. But hey, at least it’s not 64, right? With a zero-day vulnerability in the wild and a race condition that’s the cybersecurity equivalent of the 100-meter dash, you’ll want to buckle up and grab some popcorn for this rollercoaster of exploits and patches. And remember, folks, patching is like flossing—often avoided but oh-so-necessary!

- Patches for 63 vulnerabilities, including 4 critical and 59 important ones.
