SAP Security Patch Day – May 2020

SAP security Patch day

Tuesday, May 12th, the SAP SE security experts released 18 Security Notes. This months patch day also contains 4 updates to previously released security notes.

Our security researchers carefully reviewed the corrections and implemented immediate monitoring capabilities within our SAP security platform, SecurityBridge. SAP customers running SecurityBridge can download an updated signature configuration file via the product support page. Once the new signatures are uploaded into your SecurityBridge controller, you will be alerted immediately when the vulnerability gets exploited, even without implementing the mitigating security note(s) across all affected systems.

Our team of experts have emphasized the need to install patch 2835979, which corrects a Code Injection vulnerability in Service Data Download for SAP Application Server ABAP.
