F Fenway16 Honorable Member Jul 29, 2021 #1 Do we have a new assailant? This sounds worse than the printnightmare scenario which I don't believe has been fixed yet... any thoughts?

F Fenway16 Honorable Member Aug 3, 2021 #3 Thanks. While we are on the subject of malware etc., has the print nightmare been fixed yet? Thanks.
Neemobeer Cloud Security Engineer Staff member Aug 10, 2021 #5 Supposedly a new patch for "PrintNightmare" is being released for August patches tomorrow. Hopefully that will take care of it for good.

F Fenway16 Honorable Member Aug 14, 2021 #6 I have not seen anything online about the fix. Will you pls post here when it happens. Thank you.
Neemobeer Cloud Security Engineer Staff member Aug 14, 2021 #7 There's yet another print vulnerability beyond the August patch
F Fenway16 Honorable Member Aug 15, 2021 #9 CVE-2021-36958 -- Is this the fix? The talk on the windows update page is rather confusing so just double checking.

Neemobeer Cloud Security Engineer Staff member Aug 15, 2021 #10 No, that is the latest print spooler CVE disclosed after August patching with no fix presently. The work around is still the same. Stop and disable the print spooler service.

F Fenway16 Honorable Member Aug 16, 2021 #12 Microsoft finally puts an end to Windows 10 PrintNightmare vulnerability To address security concerns, Windows will now require users to have administrative privileges to install printer drivers with Point and Print. www.windowscentral.com Is this the latest fix?
