The March 2024 Security Update Review

March 2024 security updates: Adobe released six updates addressing 56 vulnerabilities (notably 44 CVEs in Experience Manager—mostly XSS—and a Critical arbitrary code execution issue in Animate), while Microsoft released 59 new patches (64 CVEs including Chromium fixes) covering Windows, Exchange, Hyper-V, OMI (CVE-2024-21334, CVSS 9.8), AKS confidential containers, and more. The bulletin calls out Critical issues that could enable remote code execution or guest-to-host escapes but states none of the patched bugs were publicly known or under active attack at the time of release; administrators are advised to apply updates promptly.
