December 2024 Patch Listing
I’ve updated the master patch list here. We’re closing out 2024 and I do not recommend that you install 24H2 at this time even though Microsoft has fixed the issues with Fujitsu scanners and some games.
So far, I’m not seeing anything trending for consumers, but it’s too early right now. I am seeing that once you install 18.2 on iPhones that they warm up a bit as a result of the indexing it appears to do after the phone reboots.
There is a zero day (a vulnerability that has been seen in targeted attacks) in the news referred to as CVE-2024-49138, Windows Common Log File System Driver Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability, but given that the reporting organization is from CrowdStrike, it appears this is a targeted attack seen in businesses, not consumers. Bottom line don’t panic. I will let you know if I see a compelling reason to immediately patch. At this this time I do not recommend we change from our normal process to test before installing updates and to ensure there are no major side effects or issues.
