Last Tuesday, Microsoft patched multiple vulnerabilities in SMB (Server Message Block), the protocol used to facilitate the sharing of files, printers and serial ports between computers; two in SMB v3, and one in SMB v1. The vulnerabilities have been given catchy names, SMBleed and SMBLost, respectively. Cybersecurity firm Tenable has posted a technical summary on the concerns of each. Regarding SMBleed (CVE-2020-1206), the biggest concern is related to a prior patch for “SMBGhost” (CVE-2020-0796) in March for the same feature of SMB v3. SMBleed is an information disclosure vulnerability.
