Microsoft releases patches for vulnerabilities in Azure

Microsoft releases patches for vulnerabilities in Azure

Wiz discovered information about a set of vulnerabilities in Linux virtual machines in the Azure cloud. This occurred when using the proprietary agent functions of the Open Management Infrastructure (OMI) platform.

A few days after this announcement, Microsoft released the corresponding patches on September 14.

What to do about it?

Experts recommend updating OMI to the latest versions, making sure that all potentially dangerous services are disabled.

The risk to sensitive information and the security for customers that their data is protected are essential today for any company that wants to remain in the global market.

Your incomplete list looks like this:

  • Azure automation.
  • Azure auto-update.
  • Azure Operations Management (OMS) Pack.
  • Azure log analysis.
  • Azure configuration management.

“Customers should update vulnerable extensions for their cloud and on-premises systems as updates become available as scheduled,” the company’s support response states.

Get to know Azure Notebooks

It will probably be very difficult to find a software and application company that does not use Microsoft Azure services. They are widely recognized as essential tools that facilitate the software development process, especially from the operational side of the problem.

That’s why many companies are looking for reliable and experienced developers with Azure knowledge that they can use in their work.

Modern business applications combine many areas of development. They are familiar and easy to understand. But that all changes when you start adding new technologies and approaches, creating distributed, scalable computing platforms that leverage big data and machine learning.

This is where Azure Notebooks comes in handy, giving you a place to learn analytics using familiar languages in a playground where you can test code and visualizations, share results with colleagues, and add descriptive text around your code, as well as results for presentations to management and your team.
