Originally Published 2 years ago — by TechCrunch
Microsoft has released patches to address zero-day vulnerabilities in two widely used open source libraries, webp and libvpx, which impact several Microsoft products including Skype, Teams, and Edge. The vulnerabilities were actively exploited by spyware to target individuals, according to researchers at Google and Citizen Lab. While Microsoft has fixed the vulnerabilities, the company has not confirmed if its products were exploited or if it has the ability to detect such exploitation. Other tech companies, including Apple and Google, have also issued security updates to address the vulnerabilities in their respective products.
