MS-DEFCON 2: Windows and Office patches out Nov 10

Posted on November 10, 2020 at 12:09 CST by Susan Bradley • Comment in the Forums

Just a reminder. Today is the day. Usually about 10 a.m. pacific time is when I turn in my chair to look to the north (Redmond is located to the north of me) and see what the Mothership is offering up. I’m starting to see the updates show up in the Security portal.

We already know there’s a zero day in Windows that was used in targeted attacks.

Home/Consumer patchers: Make sure you are on pause and we’ll wait to monitor for issues. If you have a spare PC you can install updates and report back.

Business patchers: Start your testing. Install on a sample of PCs and monitor for issues. Make sure you can print and use your key line of business applications. Remember that there’s a zero day for Windows included in this bundle. Dustin Childs has his great write up here.

Don’t forget about the OTHER patches we may need to be aware of. For example Intel has just posted their security advisories.

(As you can tell I’m still getting in the swing of things, I forgot to title up what Defcon we’re on so I’m restating it again.

More later as we know it.

We have updates for Office 2010: Seriously: https://support.microsoft.com/en-nz/help/4583503/november-2020-updates-for-microsoft-office
