Microsoft has released security updates to address two remote code execution vulnerabilities, CVE-2019-1181 and CVE-2019-1182, in the following operating systems:
- Windows 7 SP1

- Windows Server 2012
- Windows 8.1
- Windows Server 2012 R2
- Windows 10
- Windows Server 2016

An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to take control of an affected system. Similar to CVE-2019-0708—dubbed BlueKeep—these vulnerabilities are considered “wormable” because malware exploiting these vulnerabilities on a system could propagate to other vulnerable systems.
