Microsoft is starting to roll out patches for the “PrintNightmare” vulnerability, which can help a hacker remotely take over a Windows PC.
The patches target most versions of Windows, including the latest version of Windows 10 21H1, and Windows 7 Service Pack 1. However, the company has yet to release the security fixes for Windows 10 Version 1607, Windows Server 2016, and Windows Server 2012.
The available patches should install automatically via Windows Update. For PCs running the newest version of Windows 10, the patch will arrive with the name KB5004945. You can also download the patches individually from the company’s web page documenting the vulnerability.
According to Microsoft, the flaw affects all versions of Windows because it involves Print Spooler, a persistent feature in the operating system. Hence, the vulnerability has been dubbed PrintNightmare for its potential to affect millions of PCs across the globe.
