*Is the Preview Pane an attack vector for this vulnerability?* No, the Preview Pane is not an attack vector.
*Is the Preview Pane an attack vector for this vulnerability?* No, the Preview Pane is not an attack vector.
*Is the Preview Pane an attack vector for this vulnerability?* No, the Preview Pane is not an attack vector.
*Is Windows vulnerable in the default configuration?* No. Only customers who have installed this app from the Microsoft Store may be vulnerable. *How do I get the updated app?* The Microsoft Store will automatically update affected customers. Alternatively, customers can get the update immediately; see here for details. It is possible for customers to disable automatic updates for the Microsoft Store. The Microsoft Store will not automatically install this update for those customers. *My system is in a disconnected environment; is it vulnerable?* Customers using the Microsoft Store for Business and Microsoft Store for Education can get this update through their organizations. *How can I check if the update is installed?* App package versions *1.0.42152.0* and later contain this update. You can check the package version in PowerShell: Get-AppxPackage -Name Microsoft.MPEG2VideoExtension
*What version of Azure Sphere has the update that protects from this vulnerability?* All versions of Azure Sphere that are 21.08 and higher are protected from this vulnerability. *How do I ensure my Azure Sphere device has the update?* If your device is new or has not been connected to the internet for a while, connect the device to a secure, private local network with internet access and allow the device to automatically update itself. If the device is already online, verify that the operating system version 21.08 has been installed using the Azure Sphere CLI command: azsphere device show-os-version If the device is connected to the internet and does not yet have the latest update, check the update status with the following Azure Sphere CLI command: azsphere device show-deployment-status *Azure Sphere is running on IoT devices in my environment. How do I know if any of those devices are affected by this vulnerability?* An IoT device that is running Azure Sphere and is connecte...
*Update 9/16/2021: Where can I find more information about how to know if I'm protected and what steps can be taken to be protected?* Please see Additional Guidance Regarding OMI Vulnerabilities within Azure VM Management Extensions for more information. *What is OMI?* Open Management Infrastructure (OMI) is an open source project to further the development of a production quality implementation of the DMTF CIM/WBEM standards. The OMI CIMOM is also designed to be portable and highly modular. In order to attain its small footprint, it is coded in C, which also makes it a much more viable CIM Object Manager for embedded systems and other infrastructure components that have memory constraints for their management processor. OMI is also designed to be inherently portable. It builds and runs today on most UNIX® systems and Linux. In addition to OMI's small footprint, it also demonstrates very high performance.
