Exchange Server: New security updates (October 2023)

Microsoft has released new security updates for Exchange Server 2016 and Exchange Server 2019 today. The update closes the remote execution vulnerability CVE-2023-36778 and offers a better solution for the weak point CVE-2023-21709 from August. There were problems with the August security update and the update was temporarily recalled. The update from October for CVE-2023-36434 for Windows Server now provides a better solution than disabling the IIS Token Cache Module. This was done with the August update and may have led to a loss of performance. The IIS Token Cache can therefore be reactivated after installing the Windows updates.

After installing the October Windows Updates, the IIS Token Cache module can be reactivated with the following command:

New-WebGlobalModule -Name "TokenCacheModule" -Image "%windir%\System32\inetsrv\cachtokn.dll"

Here is another graphic from the Exchange Team Blog which illustrates the update process:
