Microsoft Corp. today issued security updates to fix more than 80 vulnerabilities in its Windows operating systems and software. The problem here resides with Windows NTLM, or NT LAN Manager, a suite of code for managing authentication in a Windows network environment. CVE-2025-54916 is an “important” vulnerability in Windows NTFS — the default filesystem for all modern versions of Windows — that can lead to remote code execution. “For the third time this year, Microsoft patched more elevation of privilege vulnerabilities than remote code execution flaws,” Narang observed. AskWoody also reminds us that we’re now just two months out from Microsoft discontinuing free security updates for Windows 10 computers.
