Microsoft released patches for 61 vulnerabilities. In addition, we got two advisories. One for the usual update for Flash, and one for a Windows DoS vulnerability.

The DoS advisory covers "FragmentSmack", an issue first released mid-August. For Unix systems, the recommendation was to reduce the buffer space used for fragments. Microsoft is going a step further: It suggests to drop all out of order fragements. This step appears to be a bit "drastic" in that it can lead to valid data being dropped and something to consider if you tune your IDS accordingly.

This update also patches the "ALPC" privilege escalation flaw, which has already been exploited by malware. 

3 additional already disclosed vulnerabilities are patched (see table below for details)

See the Patch Tuesday Dashboard for more details.

Hi Johannes (or anyone else looking into this)

Can we double-check the CVSS evaluation for CVE-2018-8332
There seems to be confusion about whether User interaction is required or not, which could significantly effect the score.

I am getting increasingly annoyed at the CVE links being dead links when the diary goes live. MS stopped publishing good information. Boo.
