How to "patch" this vunerability yourself - Several options here askvg.com I have a printer attached to this PC so I didn't want to disable the print spooler. Also its not Windows 10 Pro, and its not on a domain so I can't use group policy editor. So I used the registry editor method to block inbound remote print spooling.

Out of band for Print Nightmare is out ... askwoody.com Posted on July 6th, 2021 at 16:22 Susan Bradley Comment on the AskWoody Lounge See Microsoft's FAQ on the subject : msrc.microsoft.com Remember the print nightmare post from the other day? Microsoft has released out of band updates to fix the issue. “CVE updated to announce that Microsoft is releasing an update for several versions of Window to address this vulnerability. Updates are not yet available for Windows 10 version 1607, Windows Server 2016, or Windows Server 2012. Security updates for these versions of Windows will be released soon. Other information has been updated as well. This information will be updated when more information or updates are available” If you are a home user, I don’t see a need to rush this patch on. If you are a MSP or IT professional, and you haven’t already disabled the print spooler on your domain controllers – look for these updates. ( I don’t think they’ve been fully posted yet) << # # # - Eric L -
