Welcome to my January 20254 Patch Monday newsletter! It is my first Patch Monday newsletter for the year and we have a few zero days to report.
Apple released updates for most of their products with a zero day for CoreMedia that affects macOS Sequoia, iPadOS, iOS, watchOS and Vision Pro. Apple reports that a malicious application may be able to elevate privileges. Apple reports that this issue may have been actively exploited against unpatched versions (see chart below). So you will want to get these updated ASAP.
Google released three version updates in the past 30 days covering 23 security fixes. Of these 8 are rated as critical. So, as usual, make sure Chrome gets restarted so that it can update. Adobe had regular updates for a handful of products (see chart below). Mozilla released regular updates as well with a few rated "High" for Thunderbird and Firefox. Zoom released updates as well with only one with a severity of "High" for Zoom Workplace App for Linux.
This month's newsletter sponsor, LOGbinder, has just released a new version of Supercharger for Windows Event Collection. I'm mentioning it here because many of you are users and have been asking when the .net 8 update will be released. You can download the latest update here or if you have an existing support contract and don't want to fill out the form then just email sales@logbinder.com.
Be sure to browse the chart below and happy patching!

So, without further ado, here’s the chart of non-Microsoft 3rd party patches that affect Windows platforms in the past month.
Thanks as always for reading and best wishes on security,
Randy Franklin Smith
