Download Links for KB4551762 Offline Installer (IMP. Security Update)

Microsoft released an urgent security patch KB4551762 for SMBv3 vulnerability. Here are the direct download links for offline installers.

Just after the usual patch Tuesday’s cumulative update, Microsoft released yet another update called KB4551762 for both Windows 10 1903 and 1909 versions. The update is intended to fix the newly found wormable vulnerability in the SMBv3 implementation. In case you don’t know, SMBv3 is a file-sharing protocol that is widely used to share files over the local networks and on the internet.

The vulnerability, dubbed as SMBGhost (CVE-2020-0796) is a pretty serious security issue. As long as the SMBv3 protocol is enabled, it lets the attacker run malicious code remotely and take control of the target system. If you are interested, you can learn more about SMBGhost vulnerability on this Microsoft security adviser page.

Originally, this security patch should have been released like any other update. However, some antivirus vendors due to their over-enthusiasm and miscommunication released the security bug information. Since the vulnerability got leaked, Microsoft is forced to release the security update asap.

Being a security update, it has no other general fixes or improvements and is advised to install it as soon as possible to avoid any unnecessary issues. You can install the update directly from the Settings app or download KB4551762 offline installer and install it offline.
