Microsoft issued a security advisory yesterday for an issue that potentially affects all software products developed using Microsoft’s C++ development tools. It’s serious issue that could lead to remote code execution.
Tembria Server Monitor is developed using C++ but we are happy to confirm that our software is not affected by this issue as we do not use any of the API calls that are vulnerable to the newly discovered attack.
Most commercial applications are still developed using C++ and as a result we would like to advise you to contact the vendors of the applications that you use to confirm that they are not affected, especially for any application that can be accessed externally through a web-based user interface or any other means.
