• Master Patch List as of September 13, 2022

  #PatchTuesday

  I’ve updated the Master Patch List for yesterday’s releases

  Fingers crossed we will have a quieter September than August was. Apple has several fixes you’ll want, but watch out and don’t upgrade to iOS16 quite yet.

  I’ll be keeping an eye out for issues and will be updating that spreadsheet should I seen anything trending.

  Update: 9-14-2022  Business impact only:  Group policy issue after the install of KB5017308.  See master patch list page.

  As always, thank you all for supporting the cause! Remember a mere $1 donation will give you access and if you donate $50 or more you’ll get a special code to enable text messages sent to your phone each time the Master Patch List gets updated and when I change the MS-DEFCON level.

  …and here we go again. Remember our mantra, if you care about your machine ensure that you have a full image backup.

  Ensure that you have deferred updates (always check the master patch page for the deferral date) and/or put your computer on “metered” network trick.

  79 vulnerabilities

  2 publicly disclosed

  5 critical

  1 exploited

  Another print spooler (ugh)

  Too soon to tell if the bugs (audio/etc) of last month are included in this update.  More as I digest the details.

  Updates to this post:

  Windows 10 patch does NOT indicate audio issues are triggered in this release.

  Other resources include Dustin Childs’ Zero day blog 

  The one critical bug in TCP/IP impacts IPv6 with IPsec configurations (translations corporations with IPsec so not home and consumer users)

• September 2022 Office non-Security updates are now available

  Posted on September 6, 2022 at 12:47 CDT by PKCano • Comment in the Forums

  The September 2022 Office non-Security updates have been released Tuesday, September 6, 2022. They are not included in the DEFCON-3 approval for the August 2022 patches. Unless you have a specific need to install them, you should wait until Susan Bradley (Patch Lady) approves them and any problems have been reported.

  Remember, Susan’s patching sequence and recommendations are based on a business environment that has IT support and may have time constraints on the updating process. Consumer patching should be more cautious due to limited technical and mechanical resources. The latter is the reason for the AskWoody DEFCON system.
