[German]I'm posting a first warning about the October 2022 security updates for Windows here on the blog because a reader from the business environment pointed it out to me. The domain join hardening changes made with the updates to close the vulnerability (CVE-2022-38042) have powerful collateral damage.

[German]We're likely to get security updates for on-premises Exchange Server (2016-2019) in a few hours that will hopefully close the two 0-day vulnerabilities (CVE-2022-41040, CVE-2022-41082) known since late September 2022. But there is likely another 0-day vulnerability in Exchange Server that is being actively exploited in the wild to infect installations with the LockBit 3.0 ransomware. Here is some information on what I am aware of.
[German]Adobe has released its (planned) update of Adobe Acrobat (Reader) DC to version 2022.003.20258 (Windows) and (Mac) on October 11, 2022. This update includes some new features and fixes some bugs. However, the installation ends with the error "2251.Database: Transform" for some users.
[German]Today, October 11, 2022 is Microsoft's patchday, and Windows 10 will also receive its monthly security update. As a precaution, I draw your attention to an issue that could possibly cause trouble in a few hours under Windows 10 20H2 to 21H2: Microsoft is expected to disable TLS 1.0 and 1.1 with the security update for these Windows 10 versions. On the other hand, it looks like the TLS 1.3 implementation is causing problems on Windows 10. So, there could be problems with remote desktop applications and all applications that rely on TLS 1.0/1.1.
[German]One more addendum regarding On-Premises Exchange Server (2016-2019) and the two 0-Day vulnerabilities (CVE-2022-41040, CVE-2022-41082) known since the end of September 2022. As of the weekend (October 8, 2022), Microsoft had again tweaked its articles to mitigate these vulnerabilities. In addition, a blog reader came forward to point out errors in the fixed PowerShell script. I'm just getting around to writing an addendum on the state of affairs today. With any luck, there will be a patch in a few hours.
