April 2025 Patch Tuesday -Microsoft omits patches for Windows 10 32/64bit for CVE-2025-29824

This is unacceptable in every respect. Windows CLFS zero-day exploit is active in the wild yet Microsoft ignores Window 10 22H2 32 bit/64 bit? Yet!! They patched older, EOL / EOS Windows 10 versions. What is Microsoft thinking?

Are the updates for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems and Windows 10 for 32-bit Systems currently available?

The security update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems and Windows 10 for 32-bit Systems are not immediately available. The updates will be released as soon as possible, and when they are available, customers will be notified via a revision to this CVE information.

What privileges could be gained by an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability?

An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain SYSTEM privileges.

Hi SoulAsylum:

I’m a bit confused by the statement in Microsoft’s MSRC Security Update Guide for CVE-2025-29824 at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2025-29824 that states “The security update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems and Windows 10 for 32-bit Systems are not immediately available. The updates will be released as soon as possible, and when they are available, customers will be notified via a revision to this CVE information.”

The entries in that CVE-2025-29824 guide for two generic-sounding products called “Windows 10 for 32-bit Systems” and “Windows 10 for x64-based Systems” do not list a patch …

… but if you scroll down it indicates 32-bit and 64-bit editions of both Win 10 v21H2 and v22H2 were patched on 08-Apr-2025 by this month’s cumulative Quality update KB5055518. For Win 10 v22H2:


Dell Inspiron 15 5584 * 64-bit Win 10 Pro v22H2 build 19045.5608 * Firefox v137.0.1 * Microsoft Defender v4.18.25020.1009-1.1.25030.1 * Malwarebytes Premium v5.2.10.182-130.0.5212 * Macrium Reflect Free v8.0.7783

Yes indeed, that is on Microsoft as I was pointing out. I can confirm that, on my Windows 10 Pro 22H2 machines. KB5055518 IS installed.
