Mar 14 2017 - "... large number of bulletins (18 total, which includes the Adobe Flash bulletin)

> https://isc.sans.edu...wday=2017-03-14 "

Qualys Analysis:
- https://blog.qualys....osoft-for-march
Mar 14, 2017 - "Today Microsoft released a massive security update consisting of 17 security bulletins that fixed a total of -134- vulnerabilities. Out of the 17 security bulletins 8 were marked as Critical which could lead to remote code execution while the remaining were marked as Important. Since there were no patches released for February, in one way, a massive update was expected this month. We also liked the fact that Microsoft kept the older way of clubbing KB articles and patches in security bulletins which, in our opinion, is easy to read and provides better overall picture... Overall today is going to be very busy for IT department in organizations of all sizes due to the large number of client as well as server patches to be installed. But most people will be pleasantly surprised as Microsoft kept the older way of clubbing KB articles into security bulletins."

Microsoft SMBv1 Vulnerability
- https://www.us-cert....1-Vulnerability
March 16, 2017 - "Microsoft has released a security update to address a vulnerability in implementations of Server Message Block 1.0 (SMBv1). Exploitation of this vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to take control of an affected system. US-CERT encourages users and administrators to review Microsoft Security Bulletin MS17-010* and apply the update. For more information, see the Information Assurance Advisory** and US-CERT's SMB Security Best Practices guidance***."

- https://www.us-cert....-Best-Practices
Last revised: March 16, 2017 - "In response to public reporting of a potential Server Message Block (SMB) vulnerability, US-CERT is providing known best practices related to SMB. This service is universally available for Windows systems, and legacy versions of SMB protocols could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information from affected systems. US-CERT recommends that users and administrators consider:
    disabling SMBv1 and
    blocking all versions of SMB at the network boundary by blocking TCP port 445 with related protocols on UDP ports 137-138 and TCP port 139, for all boundary devices.
US-CERT cautions users and administrators that disabling or blocking SMB may create problems by obstructing access to shared files, data, or devices. The benefits of mitigation should be weighed against potential disruptions to users. For more information on SMB, please review Microsoft Security Advisories 2696547* and 204279**."

March Patching Comes In Like a Lion
- http://windowssecret...in-like-a-lion/
March 16, 2017 - "The lack of patches in February means that March’s updates are numerous. Not helping the situation: While Windows 10 updates are cumulative, Office updates may not be depending on your install. Thus we are getting an extra set. It’s a lot to sort through.
Microsoft finally got back to a bit of normal with this month’s release. Windows 10, 8 and 7 all received their normal large cumulative updates, most with a security bent. For Windows 10, the cumulative update also included many fixes for other issues on that platform. And in a bit of trivia only patch-a-holics like me love to keep track of, we have now jumped to Knowledge Base articles that begin with 4. For example, the Windows 10 1607 update is KB4013198.
In addition we received double the amount of Office updates, but remember, if you are running any of the Office 365 versions that support click-to-run, you won’t see the masses of Office updates, you’ll merely get the click to run update dribbled to you over time.
March also meant changes to Microsoft’s communication regarding security bulletins, with the all new Security Portal* as the new location for security guidance and information. However, they are still posting the traditional security bulletin information in the original format, just to ease in the transition."
