Microsoft Urges Azure Customers to Patch Exim Worm

This situation is a great example of the importance of patch and firmware management.  Just because a system is hosted in the cloud, it does not mean that you are not responsible for parts if not all of the patch and firmware oversight.  Pay close attention to your service level agreements and other cloud services documentation.

If you are using these particular Azure services from Microsoft, please review this content and patch accordingly.
