Microsoft Patch Tuesday

Patch Tuesday:-

The second Tuesday of each month is the one most commonly referred to as Patch Tuesday. That’s when Microsoft releases security-related updates for Windows (desktop and server editions), Office, and related products. The fourth Tuesday of each month is reserved for updates that aren’t related to security.

Where this Tuesday Microsoft released patches for 129 security bugs which also includes 23 critical flaws, 105 that are important in severity and one moderate bug. Fortunately, none are publicly known or under active exploitation, Microsoft said.

Out of 129 bugs, 32 were classified as remote code execution issues, which are bugs that permit attackers to exploit vulnerable applications remotely, over a network.

Of these 32, 20 also received a severity classification of “critical,” the highest rating on Microsoft’s scale
