April’s deluge of patches

PATCH WATCH

By Susan Bradley

It’s a good thing we no longer receive individual updates fixing each unique vulnerability. If we did, we’d be calling “uncle” right about now.

Historically, the number of patches released each April tends to be large. I attribute this to the final end of the holiday slump, when the folks at Microsoft are back up to full steam and working on fixes with gusto.

This time around, there are 124 vulnerabilities in Windows, Office, Azure, .NET, Visual Studio, BitLocker, Kerberos, Windows Hello, OpenSSH, and Windows’ Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
