Microsoft kicked off 2025 with a bang on the second Tuesday of January, dropping a massive Patch Tuesday update containing fixes for 159 vulnerabilities rising to 161 incorporating two additional vulnerabilities through CERT CC and GitHub.According to Dustin Childs of the Zero Day Initiative, this may be the largest number of CVEs addressed in a month since 2017 indeed, it is more than treble the number (49) fixed this time last year and follows another unusually heavy December update.[This] could be an ominous sign for patch levels in 2025, wrote Childs in his regular round-up blog. It will be interesting to see how this year shapes up.Tyler Reguly, Fortra associate director of security research and development, agreed: This is definitely one of those months where admins need to step back, take a deep breath and determine their plan of attack.While a large number of these vulnerabilities will be resolved by the Windows cumulative update, there is a plethora of other software impacted including a number of Office products Word, Excel, Access, Outlook, Visio, and SharePoint as well as other Microsoft products like .NET, .NET Framework and Visual Studio.Months like these are a great [reminder] that admins need to trust their vendors and their tooling, said Reguly. Fixing 161 vulnerabilities cannot be a fully manual process, especially since we know that more than just Microsoftpatches are dropping today. Adobe, as an example, as dropped updates for Photoshop, Substance3D Stager, Illustrator for iPad, Animate and Adobe Substance3D Designer.Patching vulnerabilities should not be a solo endeavour in the enterprise and, if it is, it may be time to talk to your leadership about staffing and tooling changes.Among the bumper crop of vulnerabilities are no less than eight zero-days, three that are known to have been exploited in the wild, and 11 critical flaws.This months zero-days are as follows:CVE-2025-21333, an elevation of privilege (EoP) vuln in Windows Hyper-V NT Kernel VSP;CVE-2025-21334, a second EoP vulnerability in the same service;CVE-2025-21335, a third EoP vulnerability in the same service.These flaws in Windows Hyper-V NT Kernel VSP are known to have been exploited in the wild, but these exploits have not yet been made public, while for the remaining five, the opposite is true. These are:CVE-2025-21186, a remote code execution (RCE) flaw in Microsoft Access;CVE-2025-21275, an EoP flaw in Windows App Package Installer;CVE-2025-21308, a spoofing flaw in Windows Themes;CVE-2025-21366, a second RCE flaw in Microsoft Access;CVE-2025-21395, a third RCE flaw in Microsoft Access.Saaed Abbasi, vulnerability manager at the Qualys Threat Research Unit, said timely patching of the Hyper-V issues was critical since they are under active attack.They allow an authenticated user to elevate privileges to SYSTEM and let them take complete control of the affected environment, said Abbasi.Usually, moving from guest to host/hypervisor indicates a CVSS [Common Vulnerability Scoring System] scope change, but Microsofts current disclosure has not explicitly confirmed this, suggesting further details are needed; this could jeopardise the entire host infrastructure, not just the individual VM [virtual machine].A threat actor able to achieve SYSTEM-level privileges is a grave concern to defenders, because it opens the door to other actions such as disabling on-board security tooling, or credential dumping to pivot across domains within the target environment. Such techniques are frequently used by both financially motivated cyber criminal gangs and nation-state backed espionage operators.Meanwhile, Adam Barnett, lead software engineer at Rapid7, ran the rule over the three similar RCE issues in Microsoft Access.Barnett detailed how successful exploitation should it occur would require a user to be fooled into downloading and opening a malicious file, leading to code execution via a heap-based buffer overflow.Curiously, in each case, one portion of the advisory FAQ describes the update protection as blocking potentially malicious extensions from being sent in an email, but the remainder of the advisory doesnt clarify how this would prevent malicious activity, said Barnett.Typically,patches provide protection by blocking malicious files upon receipt of a malicious email attachment, rather than preventing a malicious attachment from being sent in the first place, since an attacker is free to send whatever they like from any system they control.At any rate, the FAQ does mention that users who would otherwise have interacted with a malicious attachment will instead receive a notification that there was an attachment but it cannot be accessed, which is perhaps the best play on words weve seen from MSRC in a while, he said.On the spoofing flaw in Windows Themes, Barnett said many admins and users may not think about this feature which enables users to personalise their desktops with background images, screensavers and so on very often if at all, but it was still essential to pay close attention to all aspects of the Windows estate.Successful exploitation leads to improper disclosure of an NTLM hash, which allows an attacker to impersonate the user from whom it was acquired, he said.The advisory FAQ dances around the exploitation methodology without explaining; what we learn is that once an attacker had somehow delivered a malicious file to the target system, a user would need to manipulate the malicious file, but not necessarily click or open it.Without further detail, we can only speculate, but its plausible that simply opening a folder containing the file in Windows Explorer including the Downloads folder or inserting a USB drive, would be enough to trigger the vulnerability and see your NTLM hash leak silently for collection by the threat actor.Read more about Patch TuesdayDecember 2024: Microsoft has fixed over 70 CVEs in its final Patch Tuesday update of the year, and defenders should prioritise a zero-day in the Common Log File System Driver, and another impactful flaw in the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol.November 2024: High-profile vulns in NTLM, Windows Task Scheduler, Active Directory Certificate Services and Microsoft Exchange Servershould be prioritised from Novembers Patch Tuesday update.October 2024: Stand-out vulnerabilities in Microsofts latest Patch Tuesday drop include problems in Microsoft Management Consoleand the Windows MSHTML Platform.September 2024: Four critical remote code execution bugs in Windows and three critical elevated privileges vulnerabilitieswill keep admins busy.August 2024: Microsoft patches six actively exploited zero-days among over 100 issuesduring its regular monthly update.July 2024: Microsoft has fixed almost 140 vulnerabilities in its latest monthly update, with a Hyper-V zero-daysingled out for urgent attention.June 2024: An RCE vulnerability in a Microsoft messaging feature and a third-party flaw in a DNS authentication protocol are the most pressing issues to address inMicrosofts latest Patch Tuesday update.May 2024: A critical SharePoint vulnerability warrants attention this month, but it is another flaw that seems to be linked to the infamous Qakbot malwarethat is drawing attention.April 2024: Support for the Windows Server 2008 OS ended in 2020, but four years on and there's a live exploit of a security flawthat impacts all Windows users.March 2024: Two critical vulnerabilities in Windows Hyper-V stand out onan otherwise unremarkable Patch Tuesday.February 2024: Two security feature bypasses impacting Microsoft SmartScreen are on the February Patch Tuesday docket,among more than 70 issues.

A fast-moving wildfire has forced 30,000 people to evacuate, with officials warning that worsening winds could further escalate the blaze. (Photo by Tayfun Coskun/Anadolu via Getty Images)Anadolu via Getty ImagesAs Los Angeles battles another wave of catastrophic wildfires, firefighters are on the front lines, risking their lives to protect communities. Yet, a recent study by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has revealed that their protective gearessential for survival in hazardous conditionsmay expose them to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), adding a hidden layer of danger to their already perilous work.NIST Study: Head To Toe PFAS RiskThe NIST study, published in December 2024, confirmed that PFAS were present in a variety of firefighter protective equipment, including gloves, hoods, and wildland gear. PFAS are often referred to as "forever chemicals" due to their persistence in the environment and human body. These substances have been linked to serious health issues, including cancer, liver damage, and hormonal disruptions.Firefighters may encounter PFAS both in their working environment and in their gear, the NIST study noted. Reducing unnecessary PFAS exposure is an important step toward improving firefighter health and safety.This revelation comes as firefighters in Los Angeles battle blazes that have already claimed at least 24 lives and scorched thousands of acres. Weather forecasts predict more fierce winds in the coming days, increasing the risk of fire spread and worsening conditions for crews working long hours in smoke and heat.The study raises concerns that PFAS used in protective gear to provide water and heat resistance may leach out during use, potentially entering firefighters' bodies through skin contact or inhalation. This risk is exacerbated by the extreme conditions of wildfires, where high heat and sweat may facilitate chemical transfer.MORE FOR YOUInmate firefighters with Delta Conservation Camp construct a hand line during the Point Fire in ... [+] Healdsburg, Calif., Sunday, June 16, 2024. (Photo by Stephen Lam/San Francisco Chronicle via Getty Images)San Francisco Chronicle via Getty ImagesThe dangers of PFAS exposure are layered onto the known health risks firefighters face. According to the National Firefighter Registry, firefighters have elevated rates of several cancers, including bladder and thyroid cancer, due to occupational hazards. Now, PFAS contamination in gear adds another dimension to the fight for firefighter health and safety.Better Funding And Healthcare Are Critical To ChangeAddressing this issue will require systemic changes. Fire departments and policymakers can take proactive measures, such as funding research to develop PFAS-free materials, monitoring PFAS levels in gear, and adopting stricter regulations to limit the use of harmful chemicals in manufacturing. Manufacturers, for their part, should explore alternative materials that maintain the protective qualities firefighters need without the associated risks.Health monitoring for firefighters is also critical. Regular screenings can help detect illnesses linked to PFAS exposure early, allowing for timely treatment. Additionally, fire departments must provide mental health resources, as the combined stress of physical and chemical risks can take a significant psychological toll.In the face of increasingly destructive wildfires driven by climate change, firefighters continue to serve as community protectors under unimaginable conditions. Removing harmful chemicals from their gear is essential to ensuring their safety and well-being, allowing them to focus on their critical mission without unnecessary risks to their health.

The big picture: It's been more than six years since Nvidia introduced the world to its image enhancement and upscaling tech deep learning super sampling, or DLSS for short. The latest implementation, DLSS 4, was announced earlier this month at CES and promises to be exponentially better than what we first saw with GeForce 20 Series, but have you ever stopped to ponder exactly how we got to this point? As it turns out, a massive supercomputer has been involved in the process since the very beginning. While discussing the tech at at the consumer electronics show, Nvidia's VP of applied deep learning research, Bryan Catanzaro, said improving DLSS has been a continuous, six-year learning process. According to Catanzaro, a supercomputer at Nvidia loaded with thousands of the latest and greatest GPUs runs 24/7, 365 days a year and its sole focus in on improving DLSS.The training process largely involves analyzing failures, Catanzaro said. When a DLSS model fails, it looks like ghosting, flickering, or blurriness in a game. When such failures are detected, Nvidia tries to figure out what caused the model to make the wrong choice.Analyzing errors helps Nvidia figure out how to improve their training data. The model is then retrained on the newer data, and gets tested across hundreds of games. Rinse, repeat. "So, that's the process," Catanzaro concluded.Nvidia introduced DLSS 4 at CES alongside its new RTX 50 Blackwell GPUs. The graphics specialist said its $549 RTX 5070 delivers 4090-like performance when using DLSS 4, a claim many are looking forward to putting to the test.According to benchmarks shared by Nvidia, the RTX 5090 is roughly 30 percent faster than the 4090 without DLSS. Furthermore, the 5080 is said to be 15 percent faster than the 4080, and the 5070 is up to 20 percent faster than the 4070. Again, these are Nvidia's own benchmark numbers, so we will have to wait until closer to launch for non-biased, real world figures.

An age-old question Texas defends requiring ID for porn to SCOTUS: Weve done this forever SCOTUS likely to find Texas' age-gating of porn unconstitutional, expert says. Ashley Belanger Jan 15, 2025 2:38 pm | 110 Credit: Aurich Lawson | Getty Images Credit: Aurich Lawson | Getty Images Story textSizeSmallStandardLargeWidth *StandardWideLinksStandardOrange* Subscribers only Learn moreOn Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard arguments that could determine if a Texas age-gating law preventing kids from accessing pornography online is overly burdensome for adults. A ruling against Texas could put an end to allegedly invasive age-verification laws in nearly 20 states.A decision isn't expected until summer 2025, so it's too soon to say which way the court is leaning.The question before the court is whether the 5th Circuit was right to stay a preliminary injunction that had previously been blocking Texas from enforcing the law or whether that decision should be reversed and remanded based on the level of constitutional scrutiny that the 5th Circuit applied.Texas and the 5th Circuit agreed that a rational basis for limiting access to speech, which is the lowest level of scrutiny, applied.But the Free Speech Coalition (FSC) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sued Texas, arguing that strict scrutiny may be necessary. The civil rights groups claim that the statutory languagerequiring age-gating on any site where porn comprises a third of its contentrisks blocking adults from accessing protected speech, including both sexual and potentially non-sexual content, if adults wish to avoid showing ID on any given site.A lawyer for groups suing, Derek Shaffer, told justices Wednesday that everyone agrees that Texas has a compelling interest in restricting minors from accessing adult content online.But Shaffer warned that he thinks that while Texas is genuine in raising these concerns, the state allegedly has a "broader anti-porn interest in preventing willing adults from accessing this content." He accused Texas of designing the law to require more restrictive means for age-gating specifically to chill speech, ditching methods like content-filtering because allegedly "they want to make it more difficult" and "more costly" for adults to access porn.At the heart of the case is a question that justices raised repeatedly throughout the hearing: Where do states draw the line when verifying users' ages online?If judges agree that Texas' requirement of an ID or transactional data (like employment or bank records) to access adult content is no more burdensome than requiring an ID for gambling sites or to buy porn at a brick-and-mortar store, an important precedent could be set that could cement age-gating laws similar to Texas' law that have been passed in almost 20 states.Shaffer argued that requiring a government ID is "especially chilling" of adult speech and pointed out that Texas currently has no digital ID available that could be considered a less restrictive way to verify age.The porn industry, including Pornhub owner Aylo, has long advocated for device-based age verification. Still, justices questioned whether that might put the cost of protecting kids from obscene content online on phone makers like Apple or Google rather than the sites being regulated.Aylo declined to comment on today's arguments, instead referring Ars to the FSC and ACLU.Eric Goldmanan Internet law expert who joined other experts in filing a brief explaining how online age authentication," as required by Texas' law, "is more problematic than the offline age authentication procedures" SCOTUS has previously approved. He blogged about the trial, predicting that Texas may have lost. He wrote that his "view is that the Supreme Court isnt likely to take Texas bait and will not agree with the Fifth Circuits apathetic level of constitutional review."In a post-trial statement, Shaffer called on all states passing age-verification laws to "consider less restrictive, more effective solutions than the approach taken by Texas... We hope the Court will confirm the need to apply strict scrutiny to laws that burden and chill adults exercise of their First Amendment rights, and we look forward to the Courts decision."Texas law doesnt protect kids, groups argueGroups suing have asked SCOTUS to not just reverse and remand to the 5th Circuit, but also provide clear guidelines if heightened scrutiny applies, perhaps even directly stipulating that the preliminary injunction must be reinstated as the litigation continues.Also weighing in was a Department of Justice attorney representing the US, Brian Fletcher, who warned the court that he shared their "discomfort" with potentially "watering down strict scrutiny" by siding with Texas.Shaffer urged the court that Texas' age-verification law as implemented "will chill" speech and "will be invading privacy." Further, the ACLU said that it's not protecting kids, who can easily use a VPN to mask their location or access non-compliant adult sites where they could be possibly exposed to even more online risks that popular commercial sites like Pornhub say they more aggressively combat."You can use VPNs, the click of a button, to make it seem like you're not in Texas," Shaffer argued. "You can go through the search engines, you can go through social media, you can access the same content in the ways that kids are likeliest to do."Texas attorney Aaron Nielson argued that the problem of kids accessing porn online has only gotten "worse" in the decades since Texas has been attempting less restrictive and allegedly less effective means like content filtering. Now, age verification is Texas' preferred solution, and strict scrutiny shouldn't apply to a law that just asks someone to show ID to see adult content, Nielson argued."In our history we have always said kids can't come and look at this stuff," Nielson argued. "So it seems not correct to me as a historical matter to say, well actually it's always been presumptively unconstitutional. But we've done it forever. Strict scrutiny somehow has always been satisfied."Like groups suing, Texas also asked the Supreme Court to be very clear when writing guidance for the 5th Circuit should the court vacate and remand the case. But Texas wants justices to reiterate that just because the case was remanded, that doesn't mean the 5th Circuit can't reinstitute the stay on the preliminary injunction that was ordered following the 5th Circuit's prior review.On rebuttal, Shaffer told SCOTUS that out of "about 20 other laws that by some views may look a lot like Texas'" law, "this is the worst of them." He described Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton as a "hostile regulator who's saying to adults, you should not be here.""I strongly urge this court to stick with strict scrutiny as the applicable standard of review when we're talking about content-based burdens on speakers," Shaffer said.In a press release, Vera Eidelman, a senior staff attorney with the ACLU Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, said that efforts to childproof the Internet not only hurt everyones ability to access information, but often give the government far too much leeway to go after speech it doesnt likeall while failing to actually protect children."Ashley BelangerSenior Policy ReporterAshley BelangerSenior Policy Reporter Ashley is a senior policy reporter for Ars Technica, dedicated to tracking social impacts of emerging policies and new technologies.

Leader and EnvironmentA series of events, from the California wildfires to evidence we passed 1.5 degrees last year, suggests wild weather will become even more common 15 January 2025 Alexander Pohl/Sipa USA/AlamyIf ever there were a wake-up call, this is it. The fire alarm is ringing hell, the fire alarm is on fire. The latest data confirms that 2024 was the first year in which the average global temperature was 1.5C higher than pre-industrial levels, breaking a totemic limit set by the Paris Agreement (see 2024 confirmed as first year to breach 1.5C warming limit).That this was completely expected makes it no less shocking. In January 2023, we reported that early modelling already suggested 2024 would be the first year to pass this threshold. What is unexpected,
