Tens of bugs got fixed

In an effort to get rid of as many security vulnerabilities as possible, over 50 different bugs got fixed, 12 of these bugs were part of the Windows Indexer Service:

• CVE-2020-0613
• CVE-2020-0614

All of these bugs have one thing in common: they all fall under the Elevation of Privilege classification.

These types of bugs would allow an attacker with limited access to a system to gain more control over an affected system. In the case at hand, they could elevate this privilege level to that of the Search Indexer service.
