• Windows 7, 8.1 patches are up

    OK, not exactly. Other than MSRT, there are no patches for 8.1, and only one small security patch (plus a Flash patch) for Win7.

    This month only we’re getting old-fashioned Security Bulletins (such as they are) plus the new Security Updates Guide.

    MS17-001 for Edge only – “important” (which means it isn’t really important)

    MS17-002 – Word 2016 and SharePoint Enterprise 2016 – critical

    MS17-003 – Flash Player but only on 8.1 and 10 – critical

    MS 17-004 – Only on Vista and Win7 – important

    Windows 7 

    January 10, 2017—KB3212642 (Security-only update)
    This update includes only security fixes. No new operating system features are being introduced in this update.

    January 10, 2017—KB3212646 (Monthly Rollup)
    Includes the Security-only update above, plus the non-security stuff in last month’s Dec. 13 Monthly Rollup.

    Windows 8.1

    “There are no security fixes or quality improvements for release on January 10, 2017. As such, there is no Security-only update nor Monthly Rollup release for this month.”

    That’s the lightest Patch Tuesday I’ve ever seen.

    Reminder: We’re still on MS-DEFCON 2. Wait to see what happens to everybody else.
