**According to the CVSS metric, successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to some loss of integrity (I:L) and some loss of availability (A:L). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An attacker can craft a malicious file that would evade Mark of the Web (MOTW) defenses, resulting in a limited loss of integrity and availability of security features such as Protected View in Microsoft Office, which rely on MOTW tagging.

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker requires access to a rooted target device and must disable certain components of the Intune Mobile Application Manager which do not fully impact availability. An attacker could then gain access to sensitive files based on the targeted device's privileges but does not provide the ability to alter data.

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.

**According to the CVSS metric, privileges required is low (PR:L). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An authenticated attacker with Site Owner permission can use the vulnerability to inject arbitrary code and execute this code in the context of SharePoint Server.

**What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability?** An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could potentially gain the ability to authenticate against a remote host using the current user’s credentials.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by tricking an authenticated user into attempting to connect to a malicious SQL server via OLEDB, which could result in the server receiving a malicious networking packet. This could allow the attacker to execute code remotely on the client.

**Why is this GitHub CVE included in the Security Update Guide?** The vulnerability assigned to this CVE is in MinGit software which is consumed by Microsoft Visual Studio. It is being documented in the Security Update Guide to announce that the latest builds of Visual Studio are no longer vulnerable. Please see Security Update Guide Supports CVEs Assigned by Industry Partners for more information.

Veeam Backup and Replication is a backup, recovery and data management platform that modernizes data protection for cloud, physical and virtual environments. In this post we're going to look at using Veeam as part of a strategy to guard against ransomware attacks.Ransomware attacks continue to be damaging and costly events for all sizes of companies. Immutable backups are just one component in an overall business continuity strategy to protect against these types of revenue and reputation draining catastrophes. Linux is key to this strategy, and specifically Red Hat Enterprise Linux, can act a

How to get started with automated policy as code: Start small but think BIG.A policy enforcement feature is coming to future versions of Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform. This blog provides more detail around where we’re heading with this exciting initiative.What is automated policy as code?Quite simply it allows you to apply policies, or in other words rules, before and/or during automation without having to know about or write those rules into your automation. You have many operational constructs you want to adhere to across your organization, and by automating them as policies, you can
