Microsoft Issues Emergency Fixes After Massive Patch Tuesday

You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs, and you can't patch nearly 1,000 CVEs without a few glitches.

Microsoft on Monday issued out-of-band updates to address several issues caused by this month's massive, record-setting Patch Tuesday.

The emergency patches fix problems with Remote Desktop Services (RDS) that came to light last week, as well as unintended side effects for Hyper-V virtual machines and USB audio devices following the historic update last week.

September's Patch Tuesday addressed a whopping 974 unique CVEs, smashing the previous record set earlier this year; by comparison, Microsoft patched 909 CVEs in all of 2023. The release clearly illustrates how AI has supercharged vulnerability reporting and led to an alarming number of CVEs. And it may also indicate that faulty patches could become more common with increasingly large updates for software vendors. More here
