Why this month's Microsoft patch release is a doozy
Ars Technica 1 month ago 6 ● 2 sources
Microsoft’s September patch release fixed about 972 vulnerabilities, including 112 rated high critical severity. Microsoft did this after prior months that patched 570 and 620 vulnerabilities, and it follows an open letter warning that the patching window could narrow. As a result, companies are issuing large numbers of patches more quickly, reflecting an ongoing shift in how software vulnerabilities are managed under AI-enabled exploitation risk.
