Microsoft's August 2026 Patch Tuesday fixes 398 CVEs across Windows and related products, including an actively exploited WinSock use‑after‑free (CVE-2026-68820) and a wormable, unauthenticated DNS remote code execution (CVE-2026-62878) that could spread rapidly; other critical fixes affect TFTP (WDS), QUIC (HTTP/3), HPC Pack, and an Exchange privilege‑bypass demonstrated at Pwn2Own, making immediate patching of internet‑facing systems essential.
